Teacher, the child in front of you and the child you once were want to chat. We rely on teachers of young children to wear many hats. They are educators, even if their role title is "family child care provider" or parents call them a "babysitter." In addition to being teachers, we ask these early-years educators to be social workers, nurses, and sometimes family counselors. They help guide the most crucial years of development for becoming a decent human being.

Of even greater impact, they will see the brightly colored lines that connect the child they once were to the children in front of them every day.
