I very quickly got my early childhood degree, started, and absolutely fell in love with 3 and 4 year
olds. It was the most joyful experience where I felt that everything in me was being called on to teach. And also, it was very rewarding as it made me feel whole, it made me feel creative, and so it became my lifelong work with early childhood education.. - - Louise Derman-Sparks

Early Childhood leaves you ready for optimum life experiences. A childhood and education content you experience throughout your life cycle, it opens up the world to you. It gives you the tools you need to ask questions and investigate things.   - - Renatta M. Cooper
