"Advancing each young child's potential includes much more than teaching teachers how to promote development and learning. Among the important questions children are asking when they come into early childhood classrooms are: Who am I and where do I belong? Who are my people, and do they fit in with these others? These are issues of identity formation."
-Janet Gonzalez-Mena
"I think the biggest thing a parent can give a child today is resilience-helping them see they have the inner resources to overcome whatever they have to."
-T. Berry Brazelton
"We, as professionals in the early childhood 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 always wanted to be a teacher. I had, I think, a built-in passion that it was important to make a real contribution to the world, to fix all the injustices that existed in the world. And I wanted to do that through teaching."
-Louise Derman-Sparks
"So, the passion to create a safer, more just world for all kids is there. And I suppose will be there till I die, and maybe even after, I don't know!"
-Louise Derman-Sparks
