Overcoming Daycare Burnout Suzette Salmon

Imagine a world where Home Daycare providers are recognized as teachers, educators and acknowledged as making a difference in children's lives before they get to elementary school. A world where we are respected and seen as professionals - as Early Childhood Educators and not babysitters. A world where our learning environment is valued and appreciated. Very often, daycare providers are overlooked on teacher appreciation days, and seldomly recognized as teachers. We teach children from infancy preparing them for elementary school and beyond. Home Daycare providers have accolades like many other teachers; the difference is working from home, not a school. We work tirelessly to continually mold the little citizens of tomorrow, spending endless hours nurturing, educating, and caring for them.
