Preschool teachers have not been given the credit they deserve, with lots of people over looking their importance. Being a preschool teacher is more than just watching a couple of kids for a couple of hours. This field requires a lot preparation and behind the scene work that put into the job, so it really is not as easy as it may seem. Preschool could possibly shape the rest of their academic lives. At this level of school the children learn their basic building blocks for learning that they will use forever. That leaves parents with big expectations for the teacher. And for the teacher, they will have to set goals, have a plan to reach those goals, and for the most part
Becoming a preschool teacher has been a goal of mine ever since I discovered my passion for teaching young children. The person I chose to interview for this assignment was my best friends’ sister, Karla Rodriguez. Miss. Rodriguez was involved in a program during her high school years that was made for aspiring teachers. With her many years of experience in a classroom setting and more than one hundred hours of interning at an elementary school, she has become a preschool teacher who dedicates herself to instilling the first basic foundations for many children who will eventually go on to college and create a life of their own. My main goal in life is to get a job that will help me grow as a person professionally. I want to enjoy doing what I do and not feel as if I am going to work every day. I want to be a preschool teacher because I know I have the dedication to offer students a good education and I also have a love for children. In addition, I will make a good living from the career while also doing something that I love.
Preschool teachers need to understand the children that are in their care, forming relationships with each child, help them to form respectful relationships with other children and adults, and to make sure that everyone feels included in the classroom. Teachers must try to create a community within the classroom. They also must show the children how diverse the community is around them.
Students arriving to the school ready to learn and succeed is amazing to a teacher. Simply because early childhood education taught by the teacher is important for a student's succeed which is the reason why the teacher teaches in the first place.
I believe that education is the key in developing today’s students into tomorrow’s leaders. Education is the basis on which individuals develop their self-concept and the desire to become more knowledgeable. I want to become an educator because I am interested in helping elementary students become active learners and also to assist with their social skills. I believe I can make a difference to many students as they start their educational foundation. I feel that all teachers should possess the desire to devote their hard work and efforts to their students’ educational success. I view teaching as not only one of the most respected careers, but also as one in which the rewards are great and many
My goal is to become a preschool or kindergarten teacher. I first realized teaching was a career I wanted to pursue in junior high school. I had my first educational experience when I was elected the Health and Safety Officer for my 4-H group. This position entailed providing material on the related health issues and possible disease complications for the animal being raised. When presenting the material needed, I realized I needed to keep the group focused. This meant presenting the information not only in a lecture format but also in an interactive approach, one that allows for active and engaged learning. When realizing the group members learned from my presentation I felt very accomplished having met the goals for my position.
My philosophy of Early childhood education is based on research that indicates that a child’s growth is developmental. Every child is unique in terms of life experiences, developmental readiness, and cultural heritage. A high quality early childhood program that provides a safe and nurturing environment, which promotes physical, social, emotional, language and cognitive development will ensure a positive continuation of the child’s education process
My observation of a private preschool taught me that teaching kids appropriately is essential to a child’s development. Being a teacher is a very important position in society. A preschool teacher has a responsibility to teach young kids to become adults that will be this society's future. It is important to have proper emotional support within a classroom to develop good relationship between children and teachers, and create a fun learning experience. Teachers need to understand what is developmentally appropriate to educate their students in a way that they will flourish cognitively, emotionally, and socially. On October 30th, I had the chance to analyze a KinderCare in Rocklin. In that observation I learned what a private preschool classrooms quality looks like compared to a public preschools quality.
In my opinion preschool is a very important part in education and it should be provided to all. Preschool has been provided for some kids in the past and for others they have not had the chance to be able to be enrolled in these programs. From the research that there has been about preschool programs, there tends to be a lot of positive results. The idea of early education on children has always caught my attention because of all the benefits it comes with. That is why my belief is that schools should provide preschool education programs to their communities.

Preschool teachers must have a creative mindset when working in the classroom to ensure that what they are teaching is memorable for their young students. When focusing on educating young children it is imperative to realize that the curriculum will be vast, but not in depth (breadth). This allows teachers to have the ability to make a lesson plan entertaining and interesting for their students. However, it is imperative to remember that not all students learn the same way and have different interests, it is vital to always have a back-up method of teaching a subject.
The research for this paper was done to better persuade individuals to send their children to the early learning schools that are available. This way the children will be able gain more when they do start to attend regular schooling. This paper covers the importance of this early step in the children’s young life as well as the financial needs, and help that go along with this decision. Children can start to learn many of the important factors that they will need in their upcoming schooling years.
Preschool teachers usually instruct children usually until they reach the age of five. They conduct activities designed to develop social, physical, and intellectual skills needed for primary school. During an interview I was told many things on the subject. “You need a lot of patience” said Esther Rodriguez a preschool teacher. There
When I started learning about early childhood education, and hearing about the controversy of two different philosophies play-based and academic-based, and which philosophy is necessary in preschools for children to develop and learn effectively. I started to think from a parent's point of view about which learning approach, I thought would be best for my son to learn and develop effectively. However, this is where I was not taking all factors into consideration. As I began to do my research and learn more about the two philosophies, I found out that it's not about which philosophy is more important over the other. In fact, parents, educators
The basic idea of a preschool teacher, is to introduce the kids to school and teach the basics (ABC´s 123's etc.) Preschool teachers, should help develop good habits and help build daily life schedules for the students (snack time, nap time, manners etc.) But to make the learning easier for the students, it has to be taught in a creative way. For instance, ¨Young children learn from playing, problem solving, questioning, and experimenting. Preschool teachers use play and
