Service is the rent we pay for being. It is the very purpose of life, and not something you do in your spare time.

The future which we hold in trust for our own children will be shaped by our fairness to other people's children.
Marian Wright Edelman
 
When two groups or two people have different ways of guiding children’s behavior, instead of judging right or wrong, early childhood educators must first try to understand those differences where they come from.  Are they cultural, familial, individual, or do they come from something else?
Jean Gonzalez-Mena M.A.
Diversity and Discipline
 
If you and I go out to the field and talk about our views on how to take care of babies, we may be able to see a reality that is bigger than both of us.  We may even be able to move from my way and your to our way as we figure out what to do about our differences in this situation with this baby, in this center.  If we do all that we’ve reached third space.
Jean Gonzalez-Mena M.A.
What is Third Space and How Do we Get There?
 
So the passion to create a safer, more just world for all kids is there and I suppose will be there until I die maybe even after, I don’t know.
Louise Derman-Sparks
 
I see early childhood education, all education, really, as a civil rights issue.  Because the right to  what we think about in relationship to a childhood, a childhood that  leads you leaves you ready for optimum life experiences, a childhood and an education context experience throughout your life cycle that opens up the world to you, that gives you the tools to ask questions and investigating.  Those are the things that I want for all children.

    i was really inspired by Renate M. Cooper as well because all education is really a civil rights issue. I also really love Louise Derman-Sparks' quote "So the passion to create a safer, more just world for all kids is there and I suppose will be there until I die maybe even after, I don’t know" she really shows her passion for young children clearly! Thank you so much for sharing your quotes with us today :)

    Stella,

    I remember Raymond Hemander saying that in his interview. The fact that he looks forward to work everyday says that he really enjoys what he does. I can say that I look forward to coming to my school most days (since there are some days I really want to stay in bed!). But it is all worth it when my PreK students surprise me with their intelligence. That is what makes coming to teach everyday worth getting out of bed and going to the classroom to teach everyday.
