More Than One Thing, More Than One Way

As early childhood professionals and caregivers, how do we remain connected to children and families, and to each other, during physical distancing? To meet these challenges, we need the collective experiences and voices of the entire community of early childhood educators and leaders.

“What’s been important in my understanding of myself and others,” Fred Rogers said, “is the fact that each one of us is so much more than any one thing.” As helpers who serve children, families, and other helpers, what we do for the human beings around us – young or old – is often so much more than just our job descriptions and titles. When the conditions around us limit what we are accustomed to doing, we can all find our resilient and creative ways to be helpful.

Each one of us is more than any one thing, and we can find more than one way to connect.
