"Working intently with children and families is almost like earning a doctorate."
"There are challenges you will have to face and meet each year, for yourself, your staff, the children and their families."
Shonda,
ReplyDeleteI really connect with the quote from Renatta Cooper about facing challenges. Each day brings a different challenge, and I like how she mentions these challenges include you, the staff, children and the families! If there's a challenge occurring at home, chances are, it's being brought into the classroom, and vice versa. Simply being aware that challenges do exist and will occur helps in preparation to conquer those challenges. And knowing that everyone faces them helps as well!
