Childcare Education
Childcare Education
A child care philosophy is a statement that outlines the center’s guiding principles and values in
regard to child development, the purpose of child care, and the aims of education. Your center’s
guiding principles are all-inclusive and varied in scope, making them ideal for addressing any issue
that may arise in the context of child care.
In addition to our personal philosophy for teaching young children, the preschools in which we teach
should have one in place as well. All staff members, including interested parents, should be involved
in the creation and maintenance of these principles, and they should never be at odds with your
personal views.
It's not written in stone, so the philosophy may evolve to accommodate new insights and
perspectives as they emerge. We shouldn't ever compromise our core principles via appeasement,
therefore if a parent wants their kid taught in a manner that goes against your own or that of your
school, you have every right to suggest they find one that does.
Many different approaches to teaching young children exist. It's up to you to pick which, if any,
existing programs will serve as inspiration for your own. Identifying the methods of child care and
education with which you and the families you serve feel most at ease is crucial as your program
develops and matures.
Having a guiding philosophy for your child care facility can help you make choices on a wide range of
fronts, from big-picture tactics like curriculum models to the smallest details of daily life.
Communicating your approach to caring for children with parents is essential, and a child care
philosophy may help you do just that. Because of this, parents will have more faith in you and your
teachings, and there will be fewer instances of confusion.

Personal Philosophy
You make deliberate, day-to-day decisions that advance you toward your objective. Short-term
objectives help structure your days, while longer-term ones determine how you spend your months
and years. Core values are the foundation upon which you build your objectives and hence your
code of conduct.
Your own philosophy consists of such guiding principles. Your culture or religion may shape some of
your views, yet even within those contexts, people have different perspectives.
The answers to these questions might serve as the foundation for your own unique
philosophy.
About what are you particularly enthusiastic? Or, what motivates you?
Exactly what does your perfect day look like?
How do you think these principles best represent your life's aspirations and outlook?
The world needs you to make a positive impact, and that's exactly what you're going to do.
