Time Well Spent


 To stimulate creativity, one must develop the childlike inclination for play and the childlike desire for recognition.” Albert Einstein.

This has been an amazing journey. One I am going to miss visiting every day. I feel like this should just be beginning.Now is the time to take what we have learned and put it into action to make the change we want to see.

Three deeply felt leanings from this program for me were;

One, to find my  passion and develop it professionally.

Two, to see myself grow as a professional and to develop leadership qualities and confidence 
  as an Early Childhood advocate.

ThreeIt has taught me that I can be an entrepreneur and create social change from my professional core.

     This course has also shown me that I do not want to stop here. I want to climb to the top and be a part of this incredible organization possibly as a member of the National Association for the Education of the Young Child. In order to do this and keep growing as a professional I plan to continue with my Doctorate and to pursue my goals in my capstone project. I also would like to be trained as a reading recovery teacher in my County.

       Being an Early Childhood professional is a great adventure. The learning is infinite, priceless and rewarding. The skills are mandatory, simple but complex. Working and molding the people of the future is a gift and not one to be taken lightly. Professional growth donates wisdom. Our passions are seen in the faces of the learners. Developing socially emotionally healthy children with strong literacy skills will lead to competent successful adults.  Planting the early seeds and nurturing their healthy development is our daily work. What a blessing.

     I wish to thank our teacher Teri who was very patience and kind but firm as she took us by the hand through this intensive learning project.I also want to thank each of my colleagues who supported me and made this journey such a pleasurable and rewarding experience. Seeing your warm smiles  every day in the classroom really gave me the strength and encouragement to carry on.
      Thank you everyone, and keep your passionate hearts beating, for  the children of tomorrow are waiting
