Programs that have been accredited are of quality standards and parents can feel comfortable that they are leaving their child in capable hands.

    The development of a universal early child care program will allow for a cohesive education system all over the nation. The EngageNY program, that Opfer has studied, has proven that there is a simple way to universalize the classroom lessons for each grade level. This program, developed by New York State in 2011, is, “a free online trove of sequenced units and classroom lessons at each grade level… [to help] address state standards for mathematics and English language arts” (Kaufman, Julia). This is just one example of an easy solution to decreasing the number of students in dire need of catching up, thus, closing the education gap. Opfer has also found many benefits from better child care through her research.…

    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.…

Why continue going to school if we had already accomplished so much? It has been found time and time again that those who have higher levels of education are more probable to find employment and get higher earnings.…

    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.…

    My career experiences within the EC field created an understanding of how dynamic professionals, families, and children can have on early childhood education. My professional philosophy derives from my awareness and compassion on how we should encourage all children to develop and achieve different developmental milestones regardless of the variety of variables and circumstances that they may or may not have control over. As an early childhood professional who has worked within this field for the past 15 years, I endured a multitude of every changing professional that are on their way towards creating a profession that everyone can rely on and respect. Those teachers leaving their footprints on how we handle certain situations, how we work with families and how strong/loud our voices should be. As I continue to lead and grow within this profession, I believe the lives that I impact with the early childhood knowledge I have gained knowledge of will help make this great profession and continue to include research that will be of benefit to the early childhood…
