Words of Inspiration and Motivation

From the video The Passion of Early Childhood~

 “I truly believe that I’m not here to save the world. I’m just here to make a difference in the community that I’m working "      

Raymond Hernandez MS ED

  “We as professionals in the early childhood field have an opportunity to shape a child’s life for the better.”-Sandy Escobido

~From the people I admire in the Early Childhood Field~

~Haim G. Ginott-Child Psychologist~

  “I've come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It's my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess a tremendous power to make a child's life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child humanized or de-humanized.”

  “Children are like wet cement. Whatever falls on them makes an impression.”

~Maria Montessori~

  “Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed.”

 “The greatest sign of success for a teacher... is to be able to say, "The children are now working as if I did not exist.”
