All+About+Me

=All About Me= = =   I bring many beliefs, values and morals to my work in the early childhood profession. I hold great expectations in myself to be legally and ethically proper. I am a compassionate, patient person and look for times that I can be helpful and participate in acts of kindness. I work hard at being courteous to everyone and I dedicate my life to children and families. I am enthusiastic in my work with children and I strive to be honest and respectful to all. I have a heart full of love, respect, understanding, and compassion to the children and families I work with. My first responsibility as a teacher is to the children in my care. I respect each child as an individual and work at finding their interests and abilities so that I can help them achieve their potential. The design of the classroom is to support development and learning, promote self-confidence, and to keep children safe and healthy. This all happens by creating an environment that is supportive and encourages exploration. The families are the primary role in the education of their child. It is important for the parents and teachers to collaborate so that we can support the child in their learning. Keeping open communication and respecting family values and beliefs is first and foremost important. As educators it is important to strive for and achieve a quality program. It is important to create an environment were staff respects each other and share knowledge in a professional manner. Maintaining confidentiality and having high standards of trust is essential to developing a strong team. It is important to partner with the community in order to provide the highest level of services to children and families, to foster the development of family centered services, and to advocate for a healthy development of children and families. Within the classroom I will create a foundation that focuses on meeting the children’s basic needs, fostering secure attachments and promoting social and emotional development. This will happen by learning each child’s uniqueness, creating a responsive environment, and building a positive relationship with the child and family.
