Personal Philosophy Of Early Childhood Education

Personal Philosophy
I believe that all children are unique and bring their own knowledge and experiences to any educational environment. I believe the early childhood environment is a place for children to be free agents to; develop, learn, grow and express themselves, while having the confidence and respect they as a person are entitled to. Furthermore I also belie that all children have the right to learn and their learning be abundant with experiences, knowledge and quality, as well as feeling a sense of belonging to their community and learning environment. These beliefs are important to my teaching and my philosophy of early childhood eduction.

    As I reflect back on this course and the many activities we have completed, choosing three objectives was not an easy task. . This course gave us viable information about child development from the videos, the Virtual Child Exercise, and the textbook.

I tried to choose three topics that I felt would provided the most information and touch the main objectives we learned in this course. Compare and contrast the major theories influencing early childhood education, and focus on the contributions of each to the current status of the field.…

    In order to be successful you have to be able to not have preconceived notions about kids, and instead let them teach you and show you new ideas. Another strength that I feel that I have is that I am willing to learn, I want to know as much as I possibly can and being in a classroom with kids teaches you more than you know because there is always something fascinating that they come up with to teach you. I feel that the role of the teacher in an early childhood environment is to be more of a leader rather than a strict teacher. I feel that kids have so much to offer and while we are in a classroom and there are aspects that need to be covered we need to be able to let students learn things on their own. We need to be there to guide them in the right direction but not force them to do things one way.…

    I want to study early childhood education because I feel that I have what it takes to help young children open their minds to learn and engage while also helping them explore their imagination. I know it is not an easy task but our children need to start at a young age to get a head start to their lives and so it can build towards their bright future. Importantly I want to explore and get into the childhood education program so that I can help parents also, because once children are able to start learning at a very young age, their parents can benefit from that development and principles to go along with the teaching goals that we set as childhood educators. Childhood education is essential part of the education institutions of our public entities…

    “Early childhood educators [should] understand the sequences and patters of child development and cultural influences on those patterns…to create environments and plan programs that are responsive to the children in their care” (Early childhood educators of BC, p. 4). Teachers should also have the pedagogical knowledge about children to develop best practice (Tichenor & Tichenor, 2009, p.12). For example, teachers should understand that children have “hundred languages”, in which they communicate their ideas and thoughts, even if they are not verbal yet (Edwards, Gandini & Forman, 2012, p. 203). A professional teacher, in this case, should be able to interpret children’s different ways of communicating, such as paying attention to the children’s body language (Edwards et al., 2012, p. 203). When educators have sufficient pedagogical knowledge, they can then plan their curriculum and activities accordingly to each child’s individual needs.…
