Responsiveness to children is more than just responding. Responsiveness pertains to observation and through close observation of children, educators can see the value of childhood (Curtis & Carter, 2012). Consequently, this means that they can begin to understand the learning that occurs for children from self-chosen play and how a learning experience can allow time for this to happen (Curtis & Carter, 2012). Curtis and Carter (2012) state that educators must “value who children are, not what or…

The first inner quality that I value is patience. This inner quality is extremely important for childhood educators because in order to understand children one must be able to be patient and put themselves in a child’s shoe to see how they see the world. Children deserve educators that care and appreciate them and not educators who are just doing their job because they have to. There are various of ways to demonstrate patience in order to be a successful childhood educator. The first strategy…

Early childhood education in Aotearoa has grown a lot in value since its beginning points. Perspectives of the value of childcare and kindergarten and its contribution to whānau and communities have changed immensely, due to constantly changing and growing societal and cultural contexts, influences and demands.

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. Watching him grow up day by day from a baby to a naughty boy makes me feel delightful and excited. I sometimes was curious about what his little mind was thinking.

The first six months after she was born KG was a stay at home mom to her daughter. KG was going to school for education during that time and when she finished and decided to look for a job is when RG began going to this daycare center where KG is a teacher. The center that she attends is a Christian based daycare. One of the…

Miriam Beatriz Avelar Dr. Julie Shattuck EN 101 10 October 2016 Early Childhood Education When I started my school education in Kindergarten at the age of 5, it seemed as if my education had to fit a mold, where creativity was not part of the curriculum. It was as if learning, and how I learn was determined by a cookie cutter structure, my options at that time where non- existent, and not only for me but also for my parents.
