One more great quote from President Bill Clinton:

"Strength and wisdom are not opposing values".

Another great quote from President Bill Clinton:

"By lifting the weakest, poorest among us, we lift the rest of us as well".

Here are some of my favorite quotes from President Bill Clinton:

"If you live long enough, you'll make mistakes.  But if you learn from them, you'll be a better person.  It's how you handle adversity, not how it affects you.  The  main thing is never quit, never quit"

Another great quote from Susan Bredekamp:

"We are decision makers.  As adults caring for children, it is our resonsibility to seek out and intentionally plan the best opportunities for children that support their over-all-well being and healthy development.  Developmentally appropriate pratice, commonly known as DAP, is a comprehensive educational perspective that supports optimal healthy development for every child.  Understanding DAP- its meaning and intentional practices-is essential in guiding the decisions we make for young children."

Some of my favorite quotes from Susan Bredekamp:


"Children benefit most from teachers who have the skilss, knowledge, and judgement to make good decisions and are given the opportunity to make them."

Personal Childhood Web

 

Personal Childhood Web-

There are many people that hhave very important to me during my childhood years.
My mom, Linda Kelly is a loving warm strong woman.  My mother is a very very strong woman.  She has always been there for me and my sisters and brothers.  She has always put us first and we always knew we were loved.
My dad, Stephen Kelly was a very strong, independent, stubborn loving dad.  The saying its my way or the hight way is defiantly a good way to describe my dad.  He loved us and never let anyone ever hurt us.  His family was his live.  That is the one thing is really instilled in me.  Family is always first.  I miss mt dad every day and wish there trully was a stariway to heaven.
My Nanny, Lillie Parisi is a strong, loving, funny, sweet Nanny.  She has always been there for all of us.  If my mom and dad could not afford to give us christmas gifts or birthday gifts, my nanny was always there to help.  I love her Nanny.
My God Mother-Aunt Millie is a strong, independent, vocal woman.  She taught me to be an indepedent woman.  My aunt was divorced at a young age and had to raise her sons by herself.  She did a great job and now I am doing the same thing.  She was always there for me and my family.
My Aunt-  Roseanne Grandi is a strong, loving sweet caring aunt.  She is my moms's sister.  My Aunt Roseanne was a very great role model.  She always put her children first and made sure all of us were loved.

I am from a large Italian irish family.  My family didnt believe in friends taking care of their chislren.  I guess that why I had a hard time trusting friends.  I only have a few clothes friends.  I am a very loving devoted mom.  My sons are my life and I know I got that from the strong independent women in my life.  I never had a grandpa, it has always been my dad.  When he died he took a part of me with him.  He was the only male role model.  He was my protector.

Children are the future

Everyday I go a job that I truly love.  I am a Preschool Director with 131 children that I have in my school.  The children are from 6 weeks to twelve years old.  My favorite part of my day is when I go into a classroom and see my children learning.  It is truly priceless.
