Quotes from influencial people
Education is not a problem. Education is an opportunity.
Lyndon B. Johnson
In the work of nuturing and keeping children safe, good is not enough; only excellence should be accepted. Just as my mother's hope, faith, and love enabled me to pursue the work of my heart, leaders must inspire others to feel a part of the mission of work. It is then that we can accomplish what we cannot do alone.

Favorite Book
A book I enjoy reading to my children is Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See. The kids love for me to read this story because they can participate in many learning activities. Children like to act out characters from the story, learn new colors, draw and color characters, and perform finger plays about brown bear. This is a good book for children to learn many skills.
Quote about Early Childhood Education
Early Childhood Education equips young children with skills they need for kindergarten. These young children are being introduced to the learning process, and soon embark on a whole new world of learning.
