When children enter into this program they become, with time and lessons, able to work with others which opens a channel of communication. This allows them to grow mentally and socially. According to Mashburn what children experience in a pre – kindergarten program can take on a major role in the remainder of their educational developments, breaking personal barriers in verbal techniques, maximizing how much knowledge they know & can retain, and finally molding socio-emotional capabilities…

Helping children understand routines and classroom schedule are very important as it helps the child feels safe and secure because they know what will happen next in both a routine and with a classroom schedule. Classroom schedules and routines also help the teacher build a relationship with the student, helps them when planning and also helps with child guidance. Research indicates that the structure of the classroom environment, paired with planned instruction, supports the development of…

Every working family in America knows how hard it is today to find affordable care. Daycare reform has helped this by making the government give the childcare agencies more monies and helping the parents go back to work instead of staying at home also, it has helped with kids and their education. When the first daycare was established it was made for the working mothers that had to take low income jobs and it was too hazardous to take their kids in. instead of the government paying for daycare…

For my second service learning experience, I decided to offer my services to Open House Nursey School, located in 318 Warren Street, Brooklyn, NY. I decided to come around 9 am, so I could have enough time to spend with the children. Before all the children have lunch and nap time around 12 pm to 1pm as Eileen told me over the phone. On my way to the Nursey School, I was quite nervous about how everything is going to turn out because I never been to a preschool with so many kids in one room and…

I have loved reading books as long as I can remember. As a toddler, I spent hours quietly looking through books by myself. My mom also read to me and my sister often, probably every day. I remember starting to read on my own around age five. Reading was one of my favorite things to do in my free time. My mother read to me and my sister regularly until we were in our early teens. Before bedtime we would curl up in bed with her as she read. It was something I looked forward to every night, a time…

As a student in a graduate school for education, my only teaching opportunity that I have had teaching in an inclusive classroom was during my early childhood practicum. I was placed at HCA in a pre-preschool room. In this classroom, I typically had more students with special needs and less general education student just because the general education students had to pay tuition to go to the pre-preschool class. In the morning class, I had two to three general education students with six students…

not love going but I did find a passion for education at a lower level. I have spent almost every day in a kindergarten classroom for the past two years and I have learned more about the importance of education than I did actually in school. There is a reason we sit through school for thirteen years and it is to find our purpose in life that God intended. For me it was to become a kindergarten teacher and now that I know that I do not think school is pointless. However, I do find calculus to be…

of success. I certainly cannot make generalizations of the school itself as I witnessed only one morning in the pre-K classroom. However, it is significant that pre-K is a vital age for many skills to be taught, and that if students advance to Kindergarten behind their peers, they are much more likely to remain and fall further behind their peers rather than advance. It was difficult to see in the classroom setting, riddled with boredom and disciplinary issues, how the classroom was effectively…

“My love and passion for educating the youth all started with a single high school course,” says a current Kinder Care teacher, Candace C. Pinckney.
