Philosophy Statement
Reflecting on this statement about my values and beliefs in his career field of

early childhood education has highlighted all the things that I want in my future career

path. I have seen my passion to care for others and make people feel good about

themselves has helped me be more prepared to be around young children in a learning

space. I also know that offering a positive safe space for everyone to learn and be

themselves is important to me and I know its a core value in the educational space and

work field. Seeing when the children that I have been observing hit some milestone in

development feels so nice incurring them and seeing it make them proud. Learning will

always be important to my values. I feel like we all should never stop learning and keep

our interest and goals a priority or something as self care.

In this certification process I have learned how play based learning and leading by

examples are some of the best teaching mentioned I have gained for my future in

education. In early childcare education some core motor skills are being developed and

can be practiced by simply stringing rings to a long string to hown in on the hand eye

coordination. When playing outside, cheering on the children when they balance on one
 2

of the circle obstacle courses helps them build patterns along with balance and in turn

will help them in learning to read with pattern building. I also see in the learning space

what I know. I try to hold that standard everytime I am with students to be positive and

uplifting. I know that it takes a person that is not easily embarrassed to be with children

in a learning space. I have sung and cwalled and rolled around with them as I am

showing how being kind to others really reflects their mood and that makes them want

to be in a good mood and more open to learning.

I believe that my role in an early childhood learning space is to keep the students

safe and feel like they can be themselves and grow their interest in learning and keeping

their drive to learn alive. I have learned in my past career fields. I have always enjoyed

helping people and I have enjoyed helping students learn and grow in a positive space

that I can provide for them.
