Introduction: My philosophy on Early Childhood Education is inspired by Jean

Piaget. I am influenced by a play based environment for children. I truly am grateful for 

our education which allows us to teach young children and inspire them to achieve great

aspirations through experiential learning. When I envision my core values on Early

Childhood Education I strongly believe in partnership and caring for children. Standing

side by side with children and guiding them through their education, and to help them

create a world of talents, expectations and strengths by being their partner in their

everyday lives. By guiding children I need to provide a strong and vital role of caring for

all children, sustaining emotional support at all times and modeling social and emotional

expression.

In Summary: my supporting values are: Trust, Communication, Safety and

Passion. Trusting relationships are important to me in my philosophy because it allows

children to want to be in the learning environment. Communication gives me and the

children the ability to communicate with each other (as well as parents and colleagues) to

provide support and team work. It is important for children to feel safe so that they can

learn in their optimal comfort zone. It is important because children can successfully be

guided into learning within the classroom and in life.
