Passion ~Motivation~Wisdom..."Early Childhood Development"

"I owe families my best" (Renattta M. Cooper-Program Specialist~L.A. County)

"I had to ask myself-Who Am I? What are my values, ideas and beliefs? (Leticia Lara, LCSW-ZERO  to THREE)

Deborah Stipek, Ph.D Excert from her Book:

"Teachers can motivate students only if they themselves are motivated. They can make students feel valued and secure only if they feel valued and secure; they can foster enthusiasm for learning in students only if they are enthusiastic about teaching. The school culture can make or break a teacher in the same way that the classroom culture can support or undermine students' efforts to learn."
- from her book, Motivation to Learn: From Theory to Practice
