I-1.2—To base program practices upon current knowledge
and research in the field of early childhood
education, child development, and related disciplines,
as well as on particular knowledge of each child.
- This ideal is important to me because I believe that as a professional in this field, I need to be using the current knowledge and research that is proven to help children succeed. I want to provide a program that is current because it shows that I care about what is best for children and that I will provide the most appropriate practices.
I-2.2—To develop relationships of mutual trust and
create partnerships with the families we serve.
- I believe that having a good relationship with the parents that you serve is crucial to having an appropriate program for children. Having mutual trust with the families will make the difference in having a great program versus having a fair one. This ideal is also important to me because I know that as a parent myself, I would want to have a good relationship with the people that I am sending my children to.
1-4.1—To provide the community with high-quality
early childhood care and education programs and
services.
- When I open a program, in the future, I want it to be a high-quality center that will benefit the community I live in. I believe that there needs to be more high-quality centers, in each community, for children to have the best opportunities possible. It is important to me that programs are run by people who are educated in this field and that understand what high-quality programs are.
Developing positive relationships with our families are important. I know in my previous school we had parents that did not even know name of the teacher taking care of their child. We even have a palm tree with coconuts in the entrance of the school with all the teachers pictures and names and sometimes they don't take the time to see look at it. These are the parents it is important to reach, slow them down and talk to them and involve them in the preschool.
