In loving memory of Gryphon House author Leanne Grace, MEd, we are sharing pieces of her inspirational writing every Wednesday.
Leanne was the director of professional development at Hildebrandt Learning Centers and a lifelong advocate for early childhood education. She inspired the early childhood community to prepare children as lifelong learners with her ability to find the extraordinary in the ordinary. One person can make a difference, and Leanne did just that. She will be sorely missed.
Action
If you were an action hero, what would be your superpower? As an early childhood educator whose mission is to change the world for children and to protect their rights, what will you do? In reality, you are superhero every day. Your superpowers include having the time to pay attention and provide for individual needs; vigilance in adhering to regulations, policies, and procedures that protect children from harm; the vision to see into the future and know the skills and information children will need to be successful in the world; the ability to leap tall expectations from families who have entrusted their precious children to your care; limitless energy and creativity, seeing possibilities for curriculum everywhere and every day; and the ability to think on your feet and to capitalize upon any teachable moment—and have a song or fingerplay to go with it! You are an action hero! Don your cape and stand tall, feet wide apart and planted firmly, hands on your hips. Exude your superpowers!
