Tales of an early childhood educator: 8th

Wednesday, May 18, 2016

It's my 8th time celebrating Teacher's Day!

I'm so blessed to be surrounded by children I love every day.

I'm so incredibly lucky to have found my calling.

Although this year is bumpy, I believe that when one door closes, another opens up!

My philosophy - How children learn

I believe in nature and nurture.

I believe that each and every child has the potential of a genius.

I believe children have sensitive periods for learning and they learn certain subjects better at certain periods of time.

I believe that the early years are the best time to start education because that’s when children learn best.

I believe children learn best when they are relaxed and happy, when they feel safe and secure.

I believe children learn through hands-on exploration in purposeful, playful ways.

I believe children cannot be forced to learn.

I believe children have different learning styles, different intelligences.

I believe children’s healthy emotional and social development is more important than their cognitive development.
