One of the most important things for me to do is to "connect the dots" for those working with young children and their families. Through simple activities, basic emotional responses and common sense, knowledge and practical experiences come togther creating more positive and enriching experiences for all involved.
The second thing I find so important is that of "creating an awareness," of how even the most simple act or gesture can have great impact that yields either a positive or negative result.
By creating quality early childhood experiences for children from birth through childhood and by supporting parents, we are able to make positive changes for those we interact with. By fostering the connection between staff and parents through respectful actions and conversations, I believe that I recognize the roles of all of the adults involved to bring us closer to the goals of enriching lives around us while doing the work I love.
