"It's in early childhood education that I was able to really see what a unique opportunity we have in working with children; we as professionals int the early education field have an opportunity to shape a child's life for the better and so that's what makes me passionate about this field".......Sandy Escobido
"I'm not here to save the world 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".......Raymond Hernandez.
"Recognition of the importance of early childhood staff is increasing despite intolerably high turnover rates, a growing shortage of qualified personnel to fill vacancies, and persistent low morale among these underpaid, undervalued workers".....Marcy Whitebook.
Yes Towanda, Dr Lillian is correct, action they say speaks louder than words. It will be counterproductive to say something and do a different thing. Especially as it concerns children, they do what they see you do and not what you tell them to do. I also like the statement of Raymond Hernandez; it is collective effort that will ultimately help the world. Everyone must be active in their various sectors. I hope that things will turn around in this early childhood sector in line with what Marcy Whitebook advocates for.
