Kayla,
ReplyDeleteThe quote by Bredekamp is most meaningful to me; for each day as a preschool teacher, I seek to make each child's experience one of "laughter, love, play, and great fun."
Thanks for Sharing.

Hi Donna,
ReplyDeleteThe quote from Leticia Lara stating that "with resources and access to resources, parents can thrive" I think this is very true because if the parents know what resources are available to help and/or benefit their child or family they are willing to utilize those resources.
Hi Donna!!! I love the quote by Susan Bredekamp. As a parent coach I tell my parents that play is a necessity for our children. It is the way they learn.
