I am a 30 year old mother of a lovely daughter. I currently work for Arkansas Early Learning Head Start as a Family Service Worker and Health Assistance. The program is designed to help service low-income families with all required and needed resources. Also, while establishing a great relationship with these families, we provide required screenings for children, help with scheduling medical appointments and if needed, services due to a developmental delay.

  1. I just had a conversation with my co-teachers about self-regulation, how we see our class so academically ready and on track for kindergarten but their self-regulation skills are truly lacking. How in our progress reports we have to shift our families focus on academic skills to socio-emotional skills, I will be sharing your quote with my parents.

  2. There is a common denominator between the quotes you posted and that is to take accountability in ensuring children receive the best education we, as professionals can provide. When I was teaching, I would tell myself, these children are our next generation and it was my job to prepare them with the skills needed to achieve greatness. Although I taught Kindergarten, I still was an important component because in order to to excel to the next grade and so forth, you have to be able to identify letters which turns into sounds to form words. Way to Go!

    1. Thank you Janetria! And yes, it is up to us to prepare them as much as possible because one day, we will be depending on them to make decisions for us and so many! They are our FUTURE. It’s our job to keep them on the right educational path.
