"If our field does not value the contributions of teachers and providers, it is highly unlikely that the rest of society will". Marcy Whitebook, Ph.D
"Every early learning program should be staffed by teachers and providers who can and do establish warm and caring relationships with children, tend the fires of children's curiosity and love of learning, and foster their development and readiness of school". Marcy Whitebook, PhD
"Each of us must come to care about everone else's children. We must recognize that the welfare of our children is intimately linked to the welfare of all other people's children. After all, when one of our children needs life-saving surgery, someone else's child will perform it. If one of our children is harmed by violence, someone else's child will be responsible for the violent act. The good life of our own children can be secured only if a good life is also secured for all other people's children".
