I believe that as an early childhood educator I am responsible for providing infants, toddlers and
young children with positive learning experiences. I strive to model respect, patient, and care for
children and adults I come in contact with. Children have the right to have their needs met and
receive the proper education while in the care of their caregivers.
Children are motivated to learn when they have opportunities to make choices in an environment that is enriching and stimulating.Children are curious from infancy and have a desire to learn from their environment and those around them. When children are encouraged to interact with their peers and adults in positive ways, they feel safe to explore their surroundings. As a teacher I seek to guide children from needing assistance with a task to accomplishing a task independently by providing experiences that are challenging yet attainable for every child. I facilitate learning through the in-depth study of a subject that is of interest to children. Children can be highly motivated, feel actively involved in their own learning and produce work of high quality when they have the time to engage in short and long term projects.
