The Early Childhood Period of development is special because from Birth to Age Five the children are learning important and exciting things for each stage of their lives. I believe that they develop and learn best in a loving, nurturing, empathetic, calm, understanding, safe, fun, and healthy environment. I think that the most valuable aspects of Early Childhood Care and Education is their Mental, Physical, and Social Learning Environments
I have chosen to work in this profession because I want help children learn in each stage of development. Beyond teaching and learning, I see my role in supporting the growth and development of children as important. My objectives are to help them learn and gain the necessary skills/knowledge for each stage of their life. My daily schedule, curriculum, environment, materials, and teaching methods/strategies support my objectives by providing them with a healthy, safe, fun, nurturing, and educational experience.
I chose teaching because I love it. Being able to work with children and watch them grow is the most amazing thing in the world. When you watch their little minds at work and their imaginations go crazy, it makes you realise that there is so much in life that isn’t worth stressing over. They are so innocent, and they just want to learn how to do anything and everything, and having the opportunity to help them realise their potential is the most rewarding part of being a teacher.
I chose teaching because even though I am the teacher, the children will teach me as well. Teaching small children with such positive outlooks on life just makes you see that there is so much good in life, even when it seems like everything's falling apart. Children always choose to see the best in a situation, and being surrounded by that is what makes you realize that it’s just a bad day, not a bad life. Children will help you grow as an Educator as you help them grow as a child, we are forever learning.
