Philosophy of Education |
I believe that young children learn best through play. In my classroom, three and four year olds have hands on opportunities to explore their surroundings and experience a variety of domains throughout the day. Some may think it looks like a lot of fun and games, but the children are actually learning important lessons as they play. During our daily routine, you can observe my class in a variety of activities. Learning to sit patiently at Circle Time, gaining basic math skills by building houses in the Block Area and mastering fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination in the Art Area are just a few of the activities we work on.
I entered the education profession because like most teachers, I love working with children. I chose Early Childhood because it is so gratifying to witness a young child accomplish such little tasks that we take for granted, such as learning to tie their shoe for the first time or recognizing their name in print.
