Words of Inspiration and Motivation

"A person's a person, no matter how small."
~Dr. Seuss

"Attachment to a baby is a long-term process, not a single, magical moment.  The opportunity for bonding at birth may be compared to falling in love- staying in love takes longer and demands more work."
                                                 ~T. Berry Brazelton


"Parents don't make mistakes because they don't care, but because they care so deeply."
                                                                                        ~T. Berry Brazelton


"We are decision makers.  As adults caring for children, it is our responsibility to seek out and intentionally plan the best opportunities for children that support their over-all well being and healthy development."
                                                  ~ Susan Bredekamp





"We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today."  ~Stacia Tauscher
"We as professionals in the early childhood field have an opportunity to shape a child's life for the better."
~Sandy Escobido(Video - The Passion for Early Childhood)

"I'm not here to save the world, I'm here just to make a difference in the community that I'm working.  Making a difference may sometimes mean helping one child be able to be successful in the classroom."   ~ Raymond Hernandez (Video - The Passion for Early Childhood)

"While we try to teach our children all about life,
Our children teach us what life is all about."
~Angela Schwindt

  4. I love, Love, LOVE all of these quotes! And you presented them so beautifully in your blog with the pictures and the fonts. Great Job! I don't know how to comment on them without restating them over and over again because they are all so very true! Attachment is a process....a person is a person no matter what size, at conception a being is created...parents are entitled to make mistakes because they care so deeply....and we are responsible for making decisions to best teach these children.

  5. What inspirational quotes and beautiful supporting images. I will reflect on this quote "We as professionals in the early childhood field have an opportunity to shape a child's life for the better." By Sandy Escobido
    What a true statement. Unlike anyone else in the educational field, we, as early childhood educators, have the power to shape the life of a child by creating positive learning experiences and fostering a lifelong love for learning.
