PHILOSOPHY

2. • Teaching young children is important to me
because it is such a fundamental time of
learning in their lives.
• Young children are eager and willing to try new
things-- They are excited to be in school each
day and bring so much energy to the classroom.

3. • I cannot see myself being anything else but a
teacher of young children. Something I love about
this profession is that you can use so much
creativity in lessons and are able to work with all
subjects.

4. I believe that children can
teach us just as much as
we can teach them.
I believe that young children can
be our friends and that it is
important to build a relationship
with all students.

5. I believe that it's okay to mess up, our mistakes
are what learn from and how we grow as
teachers.
I believe in looking at difficult situations as learning
experiences.

6. I believe in being prepared but
flexible to change.

7. I believe that all children need an adult
that they can trust.
