When researching early childhood programs, it’s important to look for characteristics of a high quality program. Components and characteristics of a high-quality program include, but are not limited to: a curriculum that is developmentally appropriate; teachers with adequate training; a safe environment; small group size and low adult to child ratios; and communication between parents and teachers (Schuyler Center for Analysis and Advocacy, 2012).

It is the discipleship of children that propels believing teachers to devote their life to this vital ministry of Christian education.

For several consecutive summers, I supervised a small group of preschoolers, kindergartners and first graders during the Saint Rose of Lima’s annual Vacation Bible School. Throughout this weeklong program the students participated in an assortment of enrichment activities that furthered their understanding of the Roman Catholic Bible and its teachings. They had the opportunity to read and discuss passages from the Bible, sing religious songs, complete arts and crafts projects and perform skits based on that year’s themed curriculum.

One of the biggest obstacles as Christian educators is to integrate biblical principles into our teaching philosophy without being accused of indoctrinating students. Therefore, it is important for me to embrace a personal philosophy of education grounded in my Christian worldview which is that everything I do in both my personal and professional life will be inspired by God which will be demonstrated by my dedication to student learning and advancement of my own knowledge. The purpose of this paper is to discuss this philosophy in support of my most valued goals as an educator. First, I will be in the service of students, their individuality, and support them in their success. Second, I will keep current on the latest news, discoveries, and research in my content area(s).

In regards to understanding the Gospel and who God is, Children need to have a firm understanding of basic theological concepts as they are beginning to form an understanding of God. They need to wrestle and be able to answer some questions: Who is God?, Who Did God create me to be?, and What is my relationships with others based on who God is and how he has created me? These question are certainly not comprehensive, but I think these three areas, God, identity, and relationships are often ones that children seek to understand in order to make sense of the world they live in. By looking and exploring these questions, children will have a foundational understanding of who God is, their identity in Christ, and how this effects

Infant/toddler curriculum also goes and helps the teacher with comprehensive training to help the teachers and caregivers implement the program effectively.

Christians are God’s social workers, so there is a heightened sense of responsibility in regards to guiding the youth of future generations. God is the Supreme Psychologist and His words provide the wisdom needed to avert and counteract the negative influences of this world. “Counseling needs Christian DNA if it is to call people out of the death spiral of self-preoccupation” (Powlison, 2012, p. 19). For centuries, Spiritual and Religious leaders have conceded that our vessel [body] can be codified by the actions of language, words, and thought forms; “Scientific evidence now supports this and has proven that our DNA can be reprogrammed by words and frequencies” (Fosar & Bludorf, 2001, p.

The primary reason that the families send their children to our school is that the truths of Scripture are openly and passionately taught in the classrooms, as well as prayers and the discipleship worldview in all areas of life are modeled and encouraged by teachers and staff.

Based on the variability in child development, the Waldorf curriculum is not rigid. Waldorf curriculum is essentially child-centered. The child determines the course of the curriculum. Waldorf teachers ate therefore tasked with analyzing the spiritual and physical aspects of a child to determine the needs of each child and design appropriate teaching approach for the individual child. A Waldorf teacher, therefore, designs the curriculum based on both the developmental stage of a child and the class (Randoll and Peters, 2015). This teaching approach indicates that students in a class may not be actually at the same level. This approach contradicts with the public mainstream education which strives for a leveled learning for the purpose of evaluation.

For the last three years, I, along with other members of our congregation have been working towards connecting with the community around us. For the past three summers, we have run a three-hour, week-long summer camp, and this year we decided to also run a weekly summer enrichment program to help kids in kindergarten through seventh grade with preparing and reviewing school curriculum through the summer. My dad had worked as a science educator for many years; that’s where we decided to start. Cooking and nutrition was something that was very important to the both of us, and somehow we wanted to combine science, math, reading, and nutrition together while preparing a wide age range of kids for the upcoming school year. Informal education wasn’t something I fully believed in, so I wasn’t sure how feasible this goal was going to be. But my perception was altered about education the summer my dad and I ran the summer program.
