QUOTES THAT INSPIRE:



  "As you consider whether to move a child into formal academic training, remember that we want our children to do more than just learn how to read and write; we want them to learn in such a way that they become lifelong readers and writers. If we push our children to start learning these skills too far ahead of their own spontaneous interest and their capacity, we may sacrifice the long-range goal of having them enjoy such pursuits."  Lillian G. Katz - Early Childhood Educator and Co-Founder of Illinois Association for the Education of Young Children.

 "Until justice is blind to color, until education is unaware of race, until opportunity is unconcerned with the color of men's skins, emancipation will be a proclamation but not a fact." Former President Lyndon B. Johnson and founder of the Head Start Program.

  1. Vanessa great choices! I will be shareing Lillian G. Katz statment with my parents. Some of them try to push their children beyond what they are ready for.
