I derive my models of practice from not only the influence of several early childhood theorists imparted on me in my formal education, but also from my practical application as both an infant and a preschool teacher at NAEYC- accredited centers. My vision is to create an environment in every respect that will foster the growth of the whole child, with a special emphasis on positive self-esteem . I use Creative Curriculum for Infants and Toddlers, and Creative Curriculum for Preschoolers (college edition). Approaches that enhance my curriculum include but are not limited to are: the Reggio approach and Emergent Curriculum. My program is an inviting place for little ones: full of natural light, imaginative toys, and plenty of affirming, positive attention in a comfortable, familiar home-like environment. I use observation as assessments to follow the individual emerging needs and interests of the children in my care. Activities are based on emerging interests and abilities and are intended to challenge children without frustration. Authentic art exploration is used in place of product style crafts. Toys that promote mature play development as opposed to entertaining, musical toys, movement and puppetry, and sensory play with sensory development activities are part of my program.I put an emphasis on promoting creativity, self-esteem, social-emotional competency, self-help skills and early problem solving.Children learn best through experiences. I understand their little minds are not simply empty vessels waiting to be filled with the sheer will and subjective personal ideals of well-meaning adults. They are little people to me, and I feel fortunate to be a significant person to help naturally unfold their potential and inspire opportunities to develop a love for learning.
