- With an increase in social issues such as homelessness, domestic violence, higher numbers of challenging behavior and diverse family situations it is vital that professionals in the field understand the individual needs of each child to support their success at home and in school. "To advocate for and ensure that all children, including those with special needs, have access to the support services needed to be successful."
- Because of this ideal, I have witnessed families achieve personal goals such as working towards a college degree or moving into a home after being homeless, "To participate in building support networks for families by providing them with opportunities to interact with program staff, other families, community resources, and professional services."
- With so many struggles for Head Start staff to meet the teacher qualifications outlined in the Head Start Act, this ideal means so much for the future of some long term teachers who have been working for years with the minimal teacher qualifications of a Child Development Associate. "To support co-workers in meeting their professional needs and in their professional development."
