I did enter the field of Early Childhood Education because I wanted to make a difference in the children's lives. I believe the sooner a child can start education the better off they are.
ReplyDeleteI love all your quotes! Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI love the ones that states... "Early Childhood is and should be a time of laughter, love, play and great fun."
I have 14 high needs special education students and people always ask "Hows it going?" in sort of a dreary voice. I always say "We have a great time!" I feel like some people are surprised by how much I enjoy my job. I have a great staff and great kids who make everyday fun and enjoyable. It maybe VERY stressful sometimes but their happy little faces are the parts you remember and their uncontrollable laughter. :)

Teri,
ReplyDeleteI like the quote "Perhaps more than any other time of life, early childhood is a period of never ending possibilities."
I think as educator's its important to keep this in mind when working with and teaching children. You never know what affect you many have on a child, the possibilities are endless!
I love the Temple Grandin quote about children having different learning styles. But early intervention is the key. As a child, I didn't learn the conventional way. It wasn't until much later on in life (about my 3rd year in college that I figured out my learning style).
ReplyDeleteI like your Sue Bredekamp quote. I often observe that a child's parents fill up their life with so many structured activities such as dance class, soccer, swim lessons, ect., that a child rarely has any time to just be a child and have fun. I wonder, even as a parent, why we do that to children.
ReplyDeleteI love Temple Grandin. She has given a voice to people living with autism.
