HAPPY NEW YEAR INDEED 


Perhaps 2016 is the year 
when we as professionals in the Early Childhood Field 
step up. 
Perhaps 2016 is the year when the pendulum reverses. 
Perhaps 2016 is the year where we all get MORE 
on behalf of the children we serve. 
That is my fervent wish for you: 

That 2016 brings you your MORE!

Do you have one-word for 2016? 
My word this year is TENACITY
