An Early Childhood Education Professional

Understanding the "whole" of a child takes devotion, dedication, and consistency. How well the childrens ability to adapt, learn, and improvise are dependant on a well educated provider. My dedication through constant education, re-direction, support, and seamless lesson planning are my path to meeting Competency Statement III.

A.) Explain why it is important to promote appropriate behaviour and respect for others (ref. 2.2) It is important to promote appropriate behaviuor and respect for others in the class to create a safe and comfortable learning environment in which learners feel at ease to express their opinion, participate in classroom discussions and activities and ask questions allowing learners to complete their work to the best of their ability and ultimately achieve their goals. Each learner may have different religious or cultural backgrounds and even different learning needs. Therefore it is important to create a learning atmosphere that promotes the appropriate behavior and respect for others. A good way of achieving this positive learning environment

I wear three hats in my place of work: I am a lead teacher for my site, an early childhood Educator, and a Parent Educator. The role of the lead teacher is to support the mission and standards of the Early Childhood Family Education Program (ECFE). Lead teachers help determine strategies for reaching standards and facilitate the work of the site to meet the standards. I am also responsible for communicating with the family education office when standards are difficult to achieve. Managing programming is a day–to-day operation at my site. A lead teacher is the liaison with either the building, principal, or landlord. I meet with representative from collaborating agencies or programs

​What young children learn at an early age can affect future learning in elementary school. With that being said early childhood educators have an impact on children 's learning during the first year of schooling. For instance, in a daycare-type setting toddlers learn to work together, they learn to share, and they learn to cooperate. Concepts such as these, though not limited to, are concepts that are not just used when they are first learned. As children grow up learning to work together, share, and cooperate would help in being successful in school and outside of school.

Rawlings once remarked, “I am able to make a significant impact on the lives of children and families that use this setting” (127-128). This can be true for those who desire and want to improve lives, but how does one transform the life of another individual? Does it begin by becoming a firefighter, a police officer, or a doctor? These are all excellent advances in improving lives, but this writer will discuss about how becoming an Early Childhood Educator can reconstruct the life of a child (Rawlings 127).

I, Nimra Khan, am an Early Childhood Education student, who got the opportunity to work with children in a Kindergarten setting. By getting the chance to observe children and interact with them, I learned a great deal about how important appreciative inquiry is. It taught me to be objective and open-minded, and how crucial it is to acknowledge and appreciate that each child is unique in its own way. Children are highly underestimated in their abilities and skills and it is important to recognize how intelligent they are in different ways by detailed observations and interactions. Unlike any other role, working with children requires you to be present at all times, because it is the spontaneous moments that occur that matter the most. Interacting with adults can leave such a great impact on a child, and this works both ways. In my setting, one thing that was undermined was how necessary it is to collaborate regularly with the families of children, which I will discuss further on in this paper.

An early childhood professional is one who has devoted not only their time to education on the topic of child development, but as their life's work. My aunt has dedicated her life's work to promoting the education, social, emotional, cognitive, and motor skill development of young children; which I admire becoming an educator myself. It also means that you work on developing the whole child and are constantly revising your philosophy and re-examining your own education on the subject. You have to keep learning as well, developing and changing yourself as well in order to maintain being a "professional". I believe that being a professional in early childhood means that you dedicate yourself to your own personal growth on the current trends/methods

The society places a very heavy distinction between professions such as medicine, engineering as compared to teaching.

Nowadays science, maths and technology plays a significant role in children’s education mainly children from 2 to 5 years. “Where there is a child and where there is a curiosity there is a science (Howiit&Blake, 2010, p.3 as cited in The place of science in early years, 2012). Most of the people believe that science does not play any centre role in life of children as it is just carried in laboratories. In day to day life young children engage in science practices but they don’t find this science. They called it ‘curiosity’. Scientists do many experiments by using different technologies and mathematical concepts. An early childhood teacher requires a basic understanding of key scientific concepts in order to enhance children’s learning (Brunton& Thornton,2010). Young children also have range of understanding of maths and scientific concepts, developed as a consequence of everyday interaction with the world. As young children learn by doing things, not just sitting and listening. It helps children to develop their physical, social skills and creativity. In the early childhood years educators should differentiate between ‘right’ answer and ‘correct’ answer (Harlen, 2001 as cited in The place of science in early years, 2012). It is important to allow young children to make observation and become confident of their ability to describe what they think is happening and why it might be happening. Young children’s understanding towards science, mathematics and

Standard building support and cleaning techniques can't meet the interesting needs of offices where kids are available or healthcare is being provided. This requires exceptional contemplations, materials and equipment. Yet, thought should likewise be given to keeping up sensible and competitive costs. A clean, healthy environment will likewise improve your school's image and attractiveness.

Two jobs that I have always been extremely interested in include, an early childhood teacher and a psychologist. I believe that one day I will be in one of these two careers.

As a future early childhood educator, I took it upon myself to get a better understanding of what my future would look like. I began working at the Boys and Girls Club in the early childhood education program, and it has been one of the most beneficial and inspirational parts of my life. While there, I have worked with children who come from completely opposite sides of the socioeconomic, language, and development spectrums.

There are some people in the world who seem to know what they want to do as soon as they are born. I grew up as a child without the determination to find out what I wanted to do when I grew up. My passion as a child was US history. I was awed by the stories of our ancestors who struggled to make the future that we now live in. My interest in history, however, did not stop the anxiety of not having a direction to head toward. The state I was in would be the base of a series of steps I would head up as I changed.
