1. We shall build relationships with individuals, children and families while individualizing the curricula and learning environment to facilitate young children's development.
According to my profession, this mean a lot to me because we as a teacher should include no only the child but the family to.
2. We shall honor and respect the rights, knowledge and skills of the multidisciplinary colleagues with whom we work recognizing their unique contribution to children, families and the field of early childhood special education.
As a profession, we have to get alone with everyone in our profession. I will have to learn respect their thoughts and encourage their efforts as they work with the children and their families.
3. We shall engage in ongoing and systematic reflective inquiring and self assessment for the purpose of continuous improvement of professional performance and service to young children with disabilities with their families.
Not only should we assess children, but assess ourselves, see if we are growing professionally. As a goal make our profession a great part of service even if it is with children with disabilities.

WORDS OF INSPIRATION OF PASSION AND MOTIVATION
"Service is what life is all about"
"You really can change the world if you care enough" Mariam Wright Edelman
"Students not only need to know how to use a skill but also when to use it. They need to learn to recognize for themselves the context in which the skill might be useful and the purpose it can most appropriately serve."
Sylvia Chard,PhD
"Make sure that all children were taught in an environment the way to nurture their ability to grow in their ability." Louise Derman-Sparks
"Passion is to really see the unique opportunity to shape a child life for the better." Sandy Escobido
Some passion and motivational saying of my mom while she was in the daycare:
"Never do for a child that he can't do for himself."
"Remember the book The Little Engine That Could the train never said I can't it said "I think I can, I think I can". So remeber there is no such word as "I can't" my mom, Ms Henry RIP

PERSONAL CHILDHOOD WEB
TOP 5 IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
MOM...........was always there. She made sure that I was involved in everything pertaining to church and school. She was the mom to all children. Why I say that is because she worked in the Head Start Program for 20 years; and then she owned and operated her own daycare center for 25 years. Although I was the only child, I never felt like it a day in my life. I was always around her and the kids from work. As a little child, I thought my mom was the meanest mom I could ever have. After all her love and care and making sure I had the things I needed, she was the best mom I or anyone could ever have. The children from Head Start and from the daycare center would always come back just to see Ms.Henry.
GRANDMOTHER.........I lived with my grandmother all my early childhood life. For the longest I thought she was the mother and my mom was my sister. She made sure I had just about anything that any child could have. Now if you want to say I could have been spoil, then I would say she was the one that spoiled me. Like my mom, my grandmother cared for everyone in the neighborhood. She would make sure everyone was fed. Love was for all the kids in the neighborhood.
MRS. IDA FRANCES DAVIS....was my godmother, my sunday school teacher, my neighbor that lived across the street, my first grade teacher, her traveling companion, and most of all my mentor. She was my influence to mentor in the community, to teach children, and to help everyone.
CHARLOTTE......my "sister", my cousin, and my phone buddy. Now when I could not talk to anyone and tell my problems to I could tell them to her. She was the sister that I never had.
MICHELLE.......my best childhood friend. I made friends with Michelle in the first grade. I thought she was the smartest girl in class and she was. She was an only child also so she and I got alone very well. While growing up, we would walk downtown to the movies, walk to the library, and ride bikes forever. Today Michelle, although she has an ongoing illness, we are still the best of friends and keep in touch everyday.
