Early Educator Concepts

Every child deserves the best possible start in life and the support that enables them to fulfil their potential. Children develop quickly in the early years and a child’s experiences between birth and age five have a major impact on their future life chances. A secure, safe and happy childhood is important in its own right. Good parenting and high quality early learning together provide the foundation children need to make the most of their abilities and talents as they grow up.

Through working with 0-2 year olds it has provided me with opportunities and experience to acknowledge children’s needs by finding ways to communicate through body language. By having opportunities to extend by knowledge via different courses has allowed me to extend my knowledge. Although I have gained a

The learning environments of children are highly important since it’s the beginning chapter to their full on life development. My philosophy of Early Childhood Education is based on the belief that learning is an important part of their everyday lives. Later on in my career as an early childhood teacher or the field I end up choosing I want to be able to make a difference in the lives of young children. I will try to create the best learning styles in order for the children to fully succeed and I will learn from them too.

Early childhood is a crucial stage of life in terms of children's physical, intellectual, emotional and social development and of their well-being. The growth in children is both rapid and differential. A

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

Working with children has been my number one career prospect since leaving school, but at first was undecided of the age range. This lead me into attending Franklin College to study English and Psychology at A level. However, felt this was not the right choice for me. After being disheartened from my experience at college I decided to apply for Level 2 Childcare at my local sixth form. I became intrigued by the various approaches to working with children and learning how children develop.

Critically examine the key ideas associated with early years education in Reggio Emilia. What might be learned from such practices?

The research article ‘Children under five and digital technologies: implications for early years pedagogy’, has included a long and well written literature review. However, it has not clearly been identified as a literature review in the research article. This can be seen as a disadvantage as it can make the article hard to follow (Bell and Waters, 2014). In addition, the article states that it is based on a research project which was carried out in four European countries that includes England, Luxemburg, Greece and Malta during 2010-2012 (Palaiologou, 2014). In continuation Campbell et al, (2004) argued the importance of a literature review as they believe it helps and gives guidance to the researcher to choose the research methods and get

My philosophy is that all children deserve to have a nurturing, and challenging learning environment. I believe early education teachers play a key role in providing children with quality learning experiences that will teach them how to get along with others, and teach them about the world around them. It is the teachers role to use appropriate practices based on the knowledge they have about child development. Then to apply that knowledge when they are creating a curriculum that will encourage the child's emotional, social, and cognitive development. In addition, I believe it is important for the teacher to be a role model for the children. The teachers attitudes, actions, even how they decorate the classroom needs to reflex respect for

Think about your early childhood education (or your child’s early education), was it flexible to suit individual learning experiences or were children required to conform to the teacher’s methods of teaching? If you answered the latter, do you think the former would improve the quality of education? The initial years of education are crucial to learning, development and growth, during these first years children’s experiences shape their learning methods and they are able to learn rapidly, for this, early childhood educators must use teaching methods that are suitable for each child. Teachers must consider the attitude they bring to the classroom; how it affects children’s learning and the value, of the information and knowledge that

The characteristics of a competent early childhood educator are that of being physically and mentally healthy, having a positive self-image, being caring and respectful plus being professional. (Swim, 2017, p.99-100)

Early childhood teachers’ role is supporting and stimulating development of the students. Teachers’ perspective and beliefs regarding young gifted and talented students have an important association with classroom settings and the way teacher differentiate the curricula according to children’s needs. Teachers’ beliefs influence their teaching practices, therefore, knowing teachers’ perceptions is essential. The main purpose of this study is to explore early childhood education teachers’ perspective and beliefs regarding young gifted and talented students. To do that I will conduct one-on-one semi-structured interviews in person with ten early childhood education teachers from Hillsborough County, Florida. I will analyze data utilizing qualitative

The first 5 years are pivotal in a child’s life. What a child learns during this fundamental period will forever mold and shape them. It is a tremendous benefit that they have exposure to an excellent teaching staff. It would be desirable that all children could avail this resource. However, though that is idealistic, I hope my entry into the field improves the lives of the children I serve. It is my aim to meet this standard of excellence in guiding children to learn developmentally appropriate skills which will help them achieve a successful academic future.

Every builder knows "A house is only as strong as its foundation". They also know that they have to evaluate and become familiar the land before beginning to work. This rationale can be used as a guideline for teachers across the world, especially with the children in the early childhood stage, ages 2-6, because how teachers assist children in this stage will serve as the foundation for the life ahead of them. A child develops physically, cognitively and socially. It is important for the teachers to know how the child is developing in order for them to effectively teach the students because they lack of understanding can lead problems for the child. Additionally, if the teacher is aware of how the
