“ Individual character
involves honoring and embracing certain core ethical values, honesty, respect,
responsibility…Parents must teach their children from the earliest age the
difference between right and wrong, but we must all do our part”
An excerpt from Bill Clinton:
My friends, for centuries, over two now, the American Dream
has represented a compact that those who work hard and play by the rules should
be able to build better lives for themselves and for their children. In this
time, and even more into the future, child care that is too expensive, unsafe
or unavailable will be a very stubborn obstacle to realizing that dream. So let
us commit ourselves to clearing the obstacle, to helping parents fulfill their
most sacred duty, to keeping the American.

"As we advocate for
the practices we believe serve children best, it is particularly vital that we
be clear in our own thinking and precise in our communication."
An excerpt from Sue Bredekamp:
" The
mental model reminds teachers that everyday they need to engage children in
learning opportunities in each of the 5 gateways: talking (speaking and listening);
literacy-enriched play; reading, especially interactive, dialogic reading;
writing throughout the day; and learning the code–phonological awareness and
alphabet knowledge–through meaningful, engaging experiences.
“The passion was that all children were
taught in an environment that truly nurtured their ability to develop and
grow.” Louise Derman- Sparks
