Attributes of a Good Teacher My little brother is the reason why I want to become an early childhood teacher. He is ten years smaller than me.

The aim of this framework is to support children’s learning and development from birth to eight years. Early childhood settings in Australia today include long day care, occasional care, family day care, Multi-purpose Aboriginal Children’s Services, preschools and kindergartens, playgroups, early intervention settings and other services. The framework provides a guideline for early childhood educators in those early childhood settings to foster children’s physical and mental development. Early childhood educators in Australia recognize the importance of family education in children’s learning and the EYLF provides guidelines for them to build a close, supportive and reciprocal partnership with families (Early Years Learning Framework [EYLF], 2014). Parents, as children’s first and most influential teachers, build children’s self-identity and funds of knowledge by creating growing environments that are filled with love. For educators, building a close relationship with parents assist them to develop a deeper understanding of who children are and recognize children’s funds of knowledge. The EYLF recognizes and respects Aboriginal cultures and their contributions in Australian history and future (EYLF, 2014). Early childhood educators plays a central role in providing an equal, qualified and culturally secure learning environment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
