As the new executive director of Child Educational Center in La Canada, California, I knew we would be dealing with a pandemic and increased concerns about social justice issues, but I also knew I could choose my attitude. I decided my focus would be on my love for the work of early childhood education, not the challenges that lay ahead. As I got to know my team, I soon realized they shared these same passions, and it became clear that we would be able to weather the storm together.
