Quality Programs for All Children


          Working in the early childhood field, I have grown to be passionate about educating children from different ability groups because children deserve quality education. I would like to have the opportunity to accommodate the learning needs and create programs that would help every child succeed. Community members and families should be made aware of the need for high quality early childhood education for all children because most people think that a young child’s education does not matter until they get into kindergarten and start in a special education class where they will receive various services.
I have a passion to help children in poverty to close the gap in learning, lack of health care, homelessness, and most especially access to quality early learning. I would like to stay current with policies, issues and forums that affect children and their families. People who share their passionate information without being afraid of the issues they speak about are the most effective advocates. In the field of early childhood the care for children in universal preschool, head start, early head start and special education services need to be inclusive so that by the time children reach school age, most of the services will not be required.
