Philosophy
I believe Early Childhood Education should provide children with numerous opportunities to learn and grow in a warm and stimulating environment. As a progressive field, I feel that the consideration (and possible implementation) of new research and ideas, along with the participation of parents and community members are essential in developing programs that address the whole needs of the child.
I feel it is important to demonstrate respect for children (in terms of individuality, cultural differences, interests and needs) and be responsive to children’s individual cues. In addition, creating a physical and emotional environment conducive to learning through play and developmentally appropriate activities helps children and families reach their developmental goals.
I seek opportunities to work in cooperation with families to establish a caring environment that is consistent with the environment at home (through information exchange, sharing resources and continuous communication). Providing parents with opportunities to participate and influence the program empowers families, allowing them to feel included in the care that their children receive outside the home, as well as influencing the activities that they experience (such as celebrating cultural diversity) to enrich the children’s lives.
Mission Statement
As a professional in the Early Childhood Education field, I am responsible for modeling ethical conduct, honoring confidentiality and demonstrating respect to my professional peers and the families in my program. Persistence, perseverance, teamwork and a willingness to learn can overcome obstacles within any professional setting.
I will maintain a physical and emotional environment conducive to learning through developmentally appropriate activities and toys, which will allow children to explore and learn about their natural environment. I believe maintaining an environment that celebrates diversity without fear of discrimination encourages coworkers, families and children to feel welcome and valued in the childcare setting.
A safe, clean and nurturing environment provided for children encourages healthy development. Corporal punishment and diminutive language shall never be used towards children, but rather gentle guidance and consistent, reasonable and appropriate boundaries are established to maintain positive behavior.
Parents are valued as partners to the childcare setting and are therefore recognized as team members. Sharing information, resources and inviting parents to influence the program allows the program to evolve to one that is most appropriate for the children within the community. Respectful, responsive and reciprocal communication with families, coworkers and members of the community brings harmony and range to the childcare setting, ensuring the success and satisfaction of everyone involved.
