" When we strengthen families, we ultimately strengthen the community. Our goal is that parents everywhere work with supportive providers, feel confident in their parenting role and form strong resilient attachments with their children. To help achieve this, providers must be responsive to parents, knowledgeable about children development and eager to see every parent succeed."
~Marian Wright Edelman ~
"When I fight about what is going on in the neighborhood, or when I fight about what is happening to other people's children, I'm doing that because I want to leave a community and a world that is better than the one I found.
"I'm doing what I think I was put on this earth to do. And I'm really grateful to have something that I'm passionate about and that I think is profoundly important. "
~Renatta M. Cooper~
" It's not all about you; you have got to take your ego out of it and think about what's best for the child."
~Raymond Hernandez~
" My passion comes from wanting to make a difference, I'm not here to save the world; I'm here to make a difference.
