Early Childhood Educational Goals

Decent Essays
I left the university to pursue a diploma in Early Childhood Education at St. Clair College. I am currently maintaining a 3.8 grade point average in the program, and am expected to graduate in April of this year. It is my hope to return to the University of Windsor as a student in the Bachelor of Arts in General Psychology program. After graduating from the psychology program, it is my plan to remain at the university and pursue a degree in Education. I love working with children, and I hope to become a teacher one day. I hope that my experience in Early Childhood Education, both as student in the program at St. Clair and as an employee at a childcare centre, will help me achieve the goals that I wish to achieve when I return to the university.

    Throughout the Capstone Project, I have learned that college is expensive and being an Early Childhood Educator might be something I really want to be. It would be better for me to go to a two-year technical school, and then transfer to a four-year college. This process would allow me to save money so that I will not be paying student loans for many years. I have learned what it takes to become a teacher, and I am highly interested. The characteristics a teacher must have are patience, self-control, creativity, and leadership skills.…

    The developments of early educational programs are very limited but are available, and it is up to the parents to decide if the cost of the early education program is affordable to them. Nores and Barnett describe that much of the growth in funding for programs has been due to the expansions by the public sector, yet child care continues to be mostly privately provided and is often provided by caregivers with little or no formal preparation (Nores and Barnett, 2009). Each state in the United States controls their education section.
