My Philosophy of Early Childhood Education

Gina Brower

Beliefs on the purposes of education for children

The purpose of early childhood education is to give children the opportunities to form a sense of
self. The most important thing children gain from their early childhood education experience is to
start laying the foundation of a continues life-long learning.

Beliefs on how children learn best and the curriculum used

Developmentally appropriate practice should be incorporated it the program by director, teacher,

and families by encouraging them to work as a team to focus on the influences and opportunities the
are age appropriate and are within their zone proximal development.

Beliefs on physical environment qualities

Outdoors areas and playgrounds should have a natural theme to the outside area because children
should have items as really as possible as it can but making it safe for the children and using a
child-size sensory table with different substance every other day so the experience can be real.

Beliefs on caregiver/teacher qualities and education

Our role is to be child and be down with them on their level and not being a supervisor but be active
with them children otherwise they will not enjoy the experience they have been given to them as
well being a passionate teacher with your children in your classroom by showing them how you are.

Beliefs on family involvement

Families are important because they need the guidance to be successful in school and having that
support will build up their confidence by showing that you care about what they learn at school as
well being helpful if your child has an Individual Education Plan to help with their low traits.

Beliefs on importance of profession

Quality early childhood education means giving the children the best environment for each
individual that learns different in the classroom and also giving them a challenging but Development
Appropriate level for each child that is unique.

Summary

In my summary, I believe each child is very special in their own way but I know it is tough to show
what you need in education or being cared about if it is not in their life it is my belief that child are
extra special unique people and they need appropriate needs met for them.
