Quote, Quote, Quote that Inspired me:
“My passion comes
from wanting to make a difference. I’m
not here to save the world, but I’m here just to make a difference in the
community that I’m working. And to me, making a difference may sometimes mean
helping one child be able to be successful in the classroom. .. One little
sparkle will make a difference for me throughout the whole day.” ~ Raymond
Hernandez, the Executive Director in School of Early Childhood Education at
University of Southern California.
“It’s not all about you, you got to take your
ego out of it and think about what’s best for this child. And you care about
them enough to help them transition to what’s the next… what comes next and
what’s best.” ~Renatta M. Cooper, Program Specialist, Office of Child Care, LA
County Chief Administrative Office.
“When
we strengthen families, we ultimately strengthen the community. Our goal is
that parents everywhere work with supportive providers, feel confident in their
parenting role, and form strong, resilient attachments with their children. To
help achieve this, providers must be responsive to parents, knowledgeable about
child development, and eager to see every parent succeed."~Dr.
T Berry Brazelton

I liked Raymond Hernadez quote about making a difference in our children's life. That's actually why I'm in the field of early childhood
