Who am I and what do I have to offer Young Children

I am a person that is patient and enjoys working with children. Being the youngest of my
family I was always put to baby-sit for my nephews. And now having my own four kids, I have
learn that not all children learn the same. I have been able to volunteer in a preschool classroom
and have gained experience on how children learn. Children should not be told not to do
something, they should be explain why and why not.
My youngest son entered kindergarten, I decide it was not time to return to school. After
being out of school so long it was a hard adjustment. It has been a struggle and stressful being
the fact that I am a wife and a mother. But the stress has paid off, the knowledge and skills that I
have acquired with the Early Childhood classes and field experience. I have been able obtain a
job and has helped me be a better parent.
Having the field experience and the education has helped me understand the importance
of a child learning through play. Planning a lesson plan accordingly to the childrens interest
will give them the opportunity to be engage. Having the field experience and education has
motivated me to in the future open up my own center. I hope to be able to show my knowledge
and skills in a safe and engaging preschool.
