Early Childhood at A Glance

I am an Early Childhood Educator who works in the field of Head Start.  My professional practice includes working in the classroom as a teacher serving families and working with children ages 3-5.  However, my passion for working with children is to keep them engaged at all time but have fun. I learn as each day go by that each child I come in contact with are unique, but are eager to learn something new each day. As I started my journey back in 2017 to complete my studies in early childhood education, it was my goal to become the best Early Childhood Professor I can be.   I wanted to be a professor who teach abroad the ways of teaching children through play by hands on learning.  Three topics of interest that relates to early childhood that ignite my passion is creating positive relationships, Creative Activities, and Meeting the needs of all children I teach.  All of these interest in the field of early childhood are important to me .  For me working as a Head Start Teacher, by creating positive relationships it helps me to build a connection with the parents and children I serve.  It allows me to express myself by creating a welcoming and safe learning environment for their children.  In my classroom I enjoy creating fun activities for the children I serve.  For example, since Covid we have been teaching the children virtually.  Each day I reach my children through engagement by having fun at-home activities.  Science is their favorite, but I enjoy them all.  Lastly, Meeting the needs of the children I teach is the most important of them all.  It is my duty to make sure no child is left behind or singled out.  It is also my goal to include all children and plan activities to meet the children who may have specific disabilities.  To keep all the interest in order I have to keep a well-organized mind frame and classroom, encourage them, but most of all provide support to the parent and child.
