Personal Philosophy Of Early Childhood Education

Improved Essays
My personal philosophy, is about teaching education and sharing what I have learned with others. It’s my personal belief that education is a lifelong process, which is learned by ages and stages. My goal as a childcare provider, is to help support social and emotional development as much as possible. This task is obtained in many different ways, throughout the day. I like to demonstrate different ways, for the kids to take pride in themselves and develop a sense of independence. I encourage feelings, compassion and mutual respect between the kids and adults. Being in the childcare field, I have learned that kids learn immensely, when all of their needs are being met.
I believe my role as an Early Childhood Educator, is to support all areas of child development. I feel a sense of accomplishment, when I push my students to do their best and realize their potential.

First, I like to learn about children, from the most valuable source; their parents. I believe that the parents and I, should have the same perspective on what we can provide for the child. We can inform one another, on information that helps in the success of their child. I speak with the parents, about the child’s behavior at home as well as school. If there is a need of adjustment, as far as discipline, I speak with the parents right away. We come together to establish a plan, on what to do next. I tend to be very trustworthy and attentive to the needs of the parents. I keep an open line of communication, on things happening at home and school. Interaction between the teacher and the parents, should be ongoing. I do realize, that not all parents have time or are able to talk to the teachers. So, I’m willing to communicate via e-mail, phone conversations, recorded messages etc. The process of teaching the child, doesn’t stop with me. I like to keep everyone informed via newsletters, handbooks, bulletin boards, and

    I love working with a diverse range of families. Each family that we serve has unique needs and desires for their child. I really enjoy the process of getting to know families, helping them develop a plan that aligns with their vision for their family, and shaping that plan as they travel their road in Early Intervention. Perhaps what I enjoy most is when I see how a family’s time in Early Intervention has empowered them to understand and advocate for their child.…

    Although I do not intend on becoming an Early Childhood Educator, these honest reflections have helped me grow as a Child and Youth Care practitioner. My career goal is to work in family and community development. My role as an advocate and support for these families will most definitely involve working with young children. I will need to understand my view of a child and understand that each individual with which I will work might have a different view. As I will be working with families of diverse backgrounds, ethnicities, values, and cultures I will need to recognize that each families view of a child will vary, therefore each child’s need will vary as well.…

    Early years of childhood have widely been recognised as the most important years of learning and development. “Research have shown the importance of these years to learn and acquire new skills” (DEECD, 2010), which have assigned a great responsibility to the educators working with the young children. As an early childhood educator, I feel that it is my responsibility to provide the high quality learning environment for the young children to learn, acquire and develop social, emotional, academic and technological skills. The following paper contains my philosophy statement, which includes my values and professional knowledge in relation to children, teaching and learning in early childhood education.

    I agree with Moss (2010), who states “the educator needs to appreciate the range of disciplines, theories and practices available, and to understand her or his responsibility to decide where to situate herself or himself in this complex and diverse range of possibilities” (Moss, 2010, p. 15). Within education there are diverse disciplines, theories and practices, and like Moss, I believe its imperative for educators to have knowledge and an understanding of these before they are able to make informed decisions on where they position themselves within early childhood teaching, learning and development. This assignment intends to demonstrate the position I have taken, and include a critical analysis of the current early childhood curriculum and…
