Early childhood

how exactly did I learn the American Language? When I was three years old my mother enrolled me in a program named Head Start. “Head Start is a program of the United States Department of Health and Human Services that provides comprehensive early childhood education, health, nutrition, and parent involvement services to low-income children and their families.” That gives you the idea that my family was low-income, but yeah it is true. At the time my mother was raising me and my little brother.…

clay, scissors, glue and paper to express themselves through their art work. By moving spontaneously to music, the students may express feelings of sadness, happiness, joy, or excitement. I do not think that standardized testing is important in early childhood classrooms. I believe that the school’s superintendent or principal should be able to go into the classroom on any given day and observe/ question the students to see what they know and don’t know. Through the observation and questioning,…

1.) Some of Anne Moody’s most important early childhood experiences were her uncle (who wasn’t much older than her) watching her and her baby sister, Adline. Her uncle, George Lee, would abuse the two children, mainly Essie Mae. George Lee would abuse the children because he wanted to play out in the woods rather than watch babies all day long. He burned down the house accidentally after telling the two young children “I’m goin’ to burn you two cryin’ fools up. The i won’t have to come here and…

It is quite obvious that the quality of an American education has fallen. As of 2014, American students were ranked barely above average in the world on the Program for International Student Assessment, or PISA exam, and have been jumped by several countries in the past decade with far fewer economic resources. (Resmovits, 2014) The major educational issues within the United States have been scrutinized by academic scholars such as Jonathon Kozol, John Hattie and the authors of Too Many Children…

Prenatal Development The day I found out that I was pregnant was a day of unmatchable joy for both my husband and I. Our joy was continued throughout the pregnancy until the doctor had offered us possible test to see if the baby had any problems. I didn’t want to know until the baby was born, but my husband insisted. The doctor conducted a maternal blood screening, as well as a noninvasive prenatal diagnosis (Santrock 2014, pg. 52). The tests came back positive for Down syndrome. At that point…

director since 1996 here at La Petite Academy. I also have my Associates degree in Early Childhood Education. 2. Why did you take on the role of a director? I decided to become a director because the pay was more. I stayed a director because I enjoyed learning about all the children, working more with all the families, and ensuring that all the children are learning and growing. I also believe that early childhood is the time when children form their opinions about school and education and I…

Many people grow up wanting children and starting a family. I didn’t grow up only wanting a family, I grew up wanting a classroom of children as my family. In early childhood education there are many mile stones that children need to be at a certain age. Have you ever wondered where those mile stones came from? Well the different mile stones came from all different people, but the theories behind those mile stones did come from specific people. One of the theorists were Howard Gardner, he came…

to ask my mother about it and she suggested going into education. Working with young children, in her word I always had a way with children and that career seem like a good fit for me. I decided to take her suggest and try to get a degree in early childhood education. I have to admit it 's been the best decision of my life. I believe that…
