My personal philosophy is that all children should be able to learn.

Learning is an active process. The purpose of teaching (of education) is to

assist learning. It is described by how we process our environment socially
and emotionally. We learn by understanding facts, social customs,
eperiences, and relationships. The more enriched a person!s environment,
starting at birth, the more educated that person becomes.
I believe that learning through play helps foster childrens development
socially, emotionally, cognately, and physically.
"laying is one of the main ways young children learn. "lay is a good way to
#eep children interested. They will learn without even reali$ing it. In most
childcare centers, play is focused on children%s motor s#ills, helping them
to be more precise with tools such as scissors and pencils. Movement
games such as dance and running around help them to improve their
coordination, balance, and confidence when moving. &inging songs with
children is another way to get them to learn' they learn simple words and
(ingles that help them remember things (such as the tidy up song or the
alphabet song).
I believe that early learning and childcare help young children learn
new things and develop.
)hildren begin learning when they are first born. They learn to see, eat,
smell, sleep, and wal#. *y sending children to a childcare center, I believe
that they will better enhance their s#ills and learn something new every day.
+or eample, they might learn,
Literacy s#ills, such as ma#ing a map or a plan as a group.
"roblem-solving s#ills, such as answering .uestions li#e these, If we use
big shovels, will we damage or move the dinosaur bones/ What would
happen if we used small shovels and brushes instead/
0umeracy s#ills, such as counting all the dinosaur bones that have been
collected.
+ine and gross motor s#ills, such as those involved in digging, drawing,
writing, etc.
&ocial and communication s#ills, such as wor#ing cooperatively together.
+urther literacy and research s#ills, such as loo#ing through boo#s to match
the dinosaur bones to the correct dinosaur, etc.
I believe a responsive and inclusive environment is one that involves all
childrens needs by providing experiences that children can respond to.
Many studies show how important the environment is and how it
contributes to a child%s development. 1aving a well set up environment will
benefit a child in many areas of his or her cognitive, language, social,
emotional, and physical development. When you understand how children
learn in their environment, you can understand what you need to have in
place so that you can epand their opportunities to learn.

I believe my role as an educator is to impact children, families, and the
community in a positive manner with proper teaching. For families,
educators should be open and communicate positively with them about
their child. It is important for the community to be proud of the work
educators do for the children.
2ood teachers can really impact a child!s life, especially when they leave a
positive and lasting impression. Many students remember a certain teacher
for a very long time, for better or for worse.

"arents are very pleased with teachers who have a positive and open
communication system. "arents remember teachers (ust li#e students do.
In the community, people will love teachers if they are active and believe in
a good education for every child. This shows the community that it can
trust the teacher, because of how he or she interacts with the students.
I believe that health and safety are very important when working with
children.
3veryone who wor#s in the field with children should have the proper
training to #eep them safe. 3very childcare centre should train all staff in
first aid and )"4, have policy documents in place, and send staff to
seminars regarding health and safety and food hygiene. It is important to
#now procedures li#e diapering, hand washing, and following a schedule
for cleaning and saniti$ing. My role is to ma#e sure that I follow these rules
to #eep the children and myself safe from harm.
