PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy is to provide children with a high quality of care and inclusive learning environment with each child’s health and wellbeing including children with additional and/or special needs with the utmost importance. This involves the belief in a safe, secure and stimulating environment in collaboration with each child’s individual needs and the ‘National Quality Standards (NQS), Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF)’ and my favourite Theorist Bronfenbrenner who I strongly agree with in the belief that “children’s environment impacts their learning”.

All children will be treated with respect, dignity and compassion regardless of gender, culture, race or religious beliefs with the aim to be inclusive and equal in my approach to observing, programming, planning and evaluating children’s voices in activities and interests in a reflective manner.

In addition to my philosophy, I incorporate an awareness environmental sustainable practices and natural environments through programming provisions with ongoing reflections. It is vital to me as an early childhood teacher and educator to have open communication with all staff, children and families.

Uri Bronfenbrenner is my favorite theorist as in his beliefs he highlight the uniqueness of each child and their own talents; the importance peers play in the learning process and also the influence the family and wider community has on individuals and their learning.
