Part B Philosophy statements children 1. Every child is a unique individual, deserving of respect, care, and the opportunity to discover their full potential (VIT, 2015) Strategy- Self-Portrait Art: Undertake a group activity which encourage children to create self-portraits using various art materials. Talk about the features and expressions that make each child unique. This activity is to engage children in a creative process that fosters self-awareness and celebrates their unique individuality (OECD, 2021). Through this activity, children learn to appreciate and represent their distinctive features, expressions, and qualities in an artistic form. 2. Help children take charge of their own learning adventure. To me, education is not a one-way street but a collaborative endeavour where children actively shape their knowledge and experience (ECA, 2016). Strategy- Creating a Choice Board: Create choice boards that offer a selection of activities, projects, or books. Children can pick activities that align with their current interests and curiosity. This is an activity child- centred which allows children to exercise autonomy and make choices that align with their individual interests and curiosity (Churchill, 2021). 3. I belief in the holistic development of every child, focusing not only on nurturing their minds but also tending to the growth of their hearts and souls (OECD, 2021) . Strategy - Mindfulness and Yoga: Introduce mindfulness and yoga sessions to promote self-awareness and emotional balance. These activities can help children connect with their inner selves and develop emotional resilience (DET, 2019).

4. Fostering a sense of wonder and curiosity that endures throughout a lifetime. I truly believe that sparking a sense of wonder and curiosity in children is like giving them a precious gift that can stay with them forever. Strategy - Mystery Box Challenges: Present mystery boxes filled with various objects or items related to a particular theme. Children are then encouraged to use their senses and innate curiosity to discover and deduce the contents of the mystery box. 5. Play serves as the cornerstone of early childhood education, nurturing creativity, problem-solving abilities, and social skills. This perspective acknowledges children as innately strong, powerful, and abundant in potential and resources, commencing from the very moment of their birth ( Rinaldi, 2013 ). Strategy - Imaginative Play Stations: Set up imaginative play stations in the classroom, such as a pretend kitchen, doctor's office, or construction site. These setups encourage children to engage in role-play and use their creativity. Actively engage with children, asking open-ended questions, providing guidance when needed, and fostering a supportive environment for exploration and imaginative play. 6. I believe to provide a safe and inclusive environment where children can learn, explore, and express themselves freely, regardless of their physical, intellectual, social, emotional, linguistic, family, or cultural background ( Yulindrasari.et.al., 2019 ). Strategy - Feelings Wall: Create a feelings wall where children can place pictures or drawings representing their current emotions. This visual display encourages emotional awareness and empathy among peers (Churchill, 2021).

Philosophy statements Families 1. Families hold a vital role in the educational journey of a child. From what I've seen, working closely with parents and caregivers can make a big difference. Strategy - Meet and Greet Events: Organize casual meet and greet events, picnics, or playdates where parents, caregivers, and children can get to know each other and build a sense of community (Waniganayake.et.al., 2017). This should not only promote learning but also build strong relationships between families, teachers, and the school community. 2. We foster open communication, trust, and empathy with families. it's about building relationships founded on shared goals for the child's growth (DET, 2009) . Strategy - Family Newsletters: Share newsletters with families that includes children updates, educational tips, and information on classroom activities, creating a channel for communication. This activity can help kindergarteners and their families develop trust, empathy, and open lines of communication with the school and teachers (DET, 2009). 3. I firmly believe that a healthy connection between home and school is the core of children's achievements. Strategy - Family Growth Journals: Create journals in which families and kindergarteners can document their child's growth, experiences, and milestones. This encourages parents, caregivers, and kindergarteners to reflect on and celebrate the child's growth, both academically and personally. 4. Every family has its own special story, made up of different experiences and backgrounds. When we all come together, it makes our school a colourful and welcoming place (Churchill, 2021) .

Strategy - Family Photo Collage: Create a family photo collage using pictures provided by the kindergarteners. This collage can be displayed in the classroom, allowing children to point out and talk about their families' unique stories . 5. I believe in respecting each family's cultural background, beliefs, and values, creating an inclusive and supportive community. Strategy - Cooking with Families: Invite parents or caregivers to join the class for a cooking session where they can prepare and share traditional family recipes. This celebrates the diversity of families, promote understanding, and create a warm and welcoming environment where kindergarteners can learn to appreciate and respect each other's backgrounds and experiences (Andrew & Fane, 2018). 6. Effective communication and transparency create trust, ensuring the best possible support for children. Strategy - Feedback: Hold regular feedback from parents, teachers, and administrators to discuss school policies, initiatives, and concerns openly. This can create an environment of open communication and transparency that builds trust among all stakeholders, ensuring the best possible support for children in their educational journey (Yulindrasari.et.al., 2019). Philosophy statements community 1. In my perspective, active engagement with the broader community is not just a belief but a responsibility we uphold (Waniganayake.et.al, 2017) .
