Being an early childhood educator brings with it a unique lifestyle and one to be cherished.

The innocence of the young mind; the wonder, the joy, the surprise, the intrigue, the genuine article - what you see is what you get... that is what young children bring to us. They keep us young. They give us perspective. And in return we give them knowledge, acceptance, happiness and a true sense of themselves in this part of their journey..for it is only the beginning.

Let us preserve childhood.

Let us re-capture the beautiful memory it creates and contributes to our being.

Let us give to our young counterparts our time, our attention, and the best of us. Come on a journey with me to give children what they deserve - a happy childhood.

It's there in her eyes

Just to check what she has missed

And follow in her wonder

Of building curious bliss

How she questions and she thinks

Is unique unto her

And there she goes on learning

Nothing stops her or deters

But what is that she's thinking?

I really cannot tell

Her soul that is her own joy

I see it cast its spell

The force of natural beauty

Of life within a life

And bringing to us all

Her delicate insight

And only she can tell

What her heart unveils

When she's ready, when she knows

The journey of her tale

So let it be forever

This learning life of hers

To have within her reach

The stars and all that stirs

For she will hold it close

And share all that she can

And teach to those around her

That learning is her friend

For my most beautiful daughters,

Milly and Eva.

Never stop learning.

Never stop sharing.

Never stop teaching.

Love Mum. xxx
