I-1.3—To recognize and respect the unique qualities,abilities, and potential of each child.
This fragile and resilient age group is often under appreciated. It may be commonly understood within the bubble of our field, but the common awareness of policy makers is evidently lacking. It will be a tremendous effort within my community to effectively communicate early childhood's importance and ultimately it's economic advantages.
I-1.12—To work with families to provide a safe and smooth transition as children and families move from one program to the next
Head Start and programs like it are perfect examples of gains for the field, yet they are not enough. Once children and more importantly families leave their walls, it's like being thrown to the wolves. Asked to navigate through a system that often contradicts itself.
From Division of Early Childhood, We shall advocate for equal access to high quality services and supports for all children and families to enhance their quality of lives.
The field of early childhood has a very large responsibility to equalize children's ability to navigate through a system of education that has yet to be perfected; want to talk about school readiness? With a strong foundation created in the early years of life, children of all incomes can actively play a role in the pursuit of knowledge. Their architecturally primed brains will have the strength and resiliency to overcome negative environmental experiences.
