I am currently a student at Western Michigan University studying Early Childhood Professional Education. I am looking into jobs for this upcoming fall semester, and if given the chance, the Children’s Place Learning Center would be a great opportunity to continue gaining experience for my field of study. I am writing to express my interest in a position as a daycare employee. I am experienced with children from ages 2 ½ to 12. My previous job at a daycare has given me the reassurance that working with children is my passion. I enjoy seeing children grow academically and personally.

The scope of this paper will be to compare the different roles that early childhood educators have in supporting the artistic development of children. The theorists Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky and their respective beliefs regarding the instructional practice of early childhood educators will be examined and critiqued. Additionally, this paper will explore what these theorists believe to be the most effective way to teach the visual arts to young children and what role the early childhood educator plays in supporting their development. In a discussion of Piaget, the constructivist theory will be explained and connected to the visual arts education. The socio-cultural theory and social development theory will be closely examined when

I believe that as an early childhood educator my goal will be to promote the physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development of each child. I also believe that play should be the base of learning since children learn best by doing. I believe that a balance between teacher-directed and child-initiated activities is essential balance can be developed by using the developmentally appropriate practice approach, which means that activities should be “appropriate for each child and relevant to the child’s ability, needs and interests, also including the child’s family and being respectful to the child’s culture.

I have been working with children and their families for the past twenty seven years. I have worked in both fields of regular and special education.

I’ve provided effective parental support with the families to develop and implement teaching techniques to enhance their child's growth development and knowledge of school readiness skills.

When I went to NAEYC conference, Nov 18-Nov 21, Orlando, Florida, I attended 4 session. One of them was “America’s Best and Brightest: New Market Research on Attracting and Retaining Early Childhood Professionals.” Because I lack English listening skills, I couldn’t understand whole contents. However, I came to know about ‘understanding the attitudes and beliefs of current educators about the profession’ and ‘identifying factors that will be most helpful in encouraging educators to make the field a long-term profession.’ I thought that these contents would be useful and helpful for our classmates, as well as me, in understanding “current preschool teacher in the United States.”

Early education for children is very crucial as it helps shape up the foundation of their knowledge and behavior development process. Children begin to develop the sense of curiosity from the age of two. And from age 2-8, children go through a very crucial period of mental development, which shapes up their future mindset (Grayson, 2016). Early children education (ECE) has been listed as the number one priority of the National Association of Education. The teachers or educators at nursery and primary level are responsible to for developing young children’s sense of knowledge and education. In this paper, we will assess the roles and skills that are vital for an early childhood educator. Moreover, the paper will also present a

The article called, “Twelve Characteristics of Effective Early Childhood Teachers” focus mainly on the personal characteristics that an early childhood teacher should conserve.

I am confident in my ability to work professionally and with others in order to advocate for a specific cause. I was able to communicate with parents, families, children, and other professionals in my field. I became more involved with my professional career as well. I will be working with the food drive in the future. I also feel confident in my ability to express topics and communicate with parents as a way of advocating on a professional level as well. Professionals in Early Childhood education can advocate for a variety of topics from child hunger, poverty to developmental domains and school activities. There are many different ways to get involved with Early Childhood Education. This project has changed my views on my personal advocacy ability. After completing this project, I feel as though I have new interest and abilities in advocating for those in need, more importantly in the Early Childhood Education field. I am excited to see what the future holds in regards to my own advocacy in Early Childhood

As an early childhood educator, in an effort to support families who have a lack of extended family support, I will make sure to provide them with resources that support their family needs. Resources that are based in the school setting could be childcare, tutoring or expanded learning programs in the afternoons. These school based resources can help the development of their children and offer parents more support. Other resources are more community based, such as parenting classes, enrichment programs and many more. These community resources can provide families with the support of others that may help them deal with issues or concerns they are facing. Sometimes families just need to know they are supported and
