What fuel my passion for early childhood learning?

Since having the opportunity to work with children in preschool and kindergarten my passion for early childhood education has been on fire. I get inspired seeing the excitement children have when they learn new things. When I volunteered at the children center at my church, I saw the positive influence teachers can have on children. It brought me great joy when a parent would pick up their child from the children center and the child was excited to explain what they learned in class. I think it is imperative that a child has a solid foundation for learning at an early age.  I think so many children fall behind in the educational system because they didn't have a solid foundation for learning.
