"Teachers and caregivers have daily opportunities to be the catalysts for spectacular developmental advances for children who otherwise seem destined to end up in a developmental wasteland. We help provide love and attention, a healthful environment, good nutrition, and appropriate interpersonal interaction day after day. So, whether we think of these dramatic changes as miracles or simply developmental advances, they are all around us, just waiting for a chance to happen — and waiting for us to help. The opportunity to be part of such miracles in the lives of young children is a bonus of our professional work that should not be taken lightly."
How many lives have you touched today?
