I Believe in Early Childhood...

Because the following words say it all, I would like you to join me in celebrating the work that Early childhood professionals do every day to ensure that the children of tomorrow are prepared to take the world down a successful path.


“Children are the world's most valuable resource and its best hope for the future” JFK

"The return on investment from early childhood development is extraordinary, resulting in better working public schools, more educated workers and less crime."-- Art Rolnick & Rob Grunewald

Special thanks go out to dedicated educators such as Dr. Myers who continue to educate future leaders in the Early Childhood Field.

To my colleagues, I hope and pray your passion for the field continue to keep burning bright. As learnt in our Foundations class, everyone you meet that shares your passion is a resource so feel free to reach out to me as I am sure I will remain in contact as needed.

Assessment as a Tool

A holistic approach to viewing young children would entail an environment to supports physical, social, emotional, mental, spiritual, and academic development.  Once that environment is established, I do believe that in order to established an atmosphere of growth assessments are necessary.  Assessments provide caregivers with the information they need to take children to the next level of development.  Assessments should focus on a single child’s abilities and not the child’s ability compared to other children.  In addition, assessments should take into account the environment and the child’s mental and emotional state when the assessment is taking place because it can affect the child’s performance.

            From personal experience, I recall in Haiti assessments are administered in the form of tests.  There are national tests taken by all children in order to move onto the first grade, the seventh grade, and twelfth grade.  The results of these exams determine moving to the next grade and the final one that is administered in the twelfth grade determines graduation.
