Bachelor of Education (Birth to Twelve)

As an Early Childhood Educator I believe all children are equal and unique in their own way. Every child deserves to be treated in a positive and nurturing manner. I believe it is vital for all children to feel safe, supported and secure in their environment. This will enable each child to develop a sense of belonging and trust. I believe developing positive relationships with the children is vital. The more we know about each child, the more we can extend their learning and assist them in reaching their goals. I believe in providing an educational and stimulating learning environment for the children to engage in. The educators should be positive, caring, supportive and respectful in order to enable the children to feel loved and to learn and develop at their fullest potential. I believe the children's learning environment should be a happy and fun place, full of life and motivating. They should be allowed to engage in open ended play experiences that allow them to express themselves comfortably. I believe communicating with families regularly is necessary for the benefit of the child to ensure the child's needs and interests are met.

Bachelor of Teaching (Birth to Five)

As an early childhood teacher, I believe that all children are special and unique in their own way. I find it intriguing to search for these qualities in each child and provide a high-quality learning and fun environment for the children to further explore their interests. As an educator I aim to develop caring relationships with all the children and to ensure all their needs are being met and I thrive on learning about each child’s diverse backgrounds. As a mum of two I believe it’s important to make sure children feel safe and secure and to know that I am here to help them reach their goals and for the stars!

I believe that the environment and space children are surrounded in influences their attitude and behaviours of life. My goals in becoming an Early Childhood Educator are to create a safe, fun, playful, loving and caring space for children to grow, learn and develop in their own time All children are different and have unique ways of learning and adapting to their environment. I also believe in the importance of healthy relationships and special bonds between educators and families to assist in showing them key qualities like kindness, patience, compassion and love. I aim to encourage and support children to fully develop into their unique selves while having fun along the way.

As an early childhood educator we are developing the young minds of our future, which is why it is truly a passion of mine, watching each individual child thrive in a safe ,secure and happy environment. Becoming a mum has shown me how important this is in a whole new light.

I believe that no two children will learn in the exact same way, providing opportunities and experiences to cater for each child to flourish to their full potential. My goal is to ensure that each child feels safe and supported in their learning environment and free to express themselves, While also working alongside families and the community to extend on feeling a sense belonging and staying connected to our outside world.

I believe in the importance of self-expression through painting, drawing, dance, discussions, creative play and especially through music. I strive to provide children with choices and opportunities to create their own learning throughout their environment and explore and discover the world around them. By creating a nurturing and fun learning environment, I aim to prepare children with the life skills needed to master new challenges, express ideas, gain independence and be capable and confident learners in the future.

Each child is so unique and it’s important that all children feel a sense of belonging while at kindy.

Certificate 3 in Children’s Services

Working with children in childcare is a great passion of mine. I believe in creating meaningful relationships with the children and their families to create a home away from home environment. Teaching children to never give up and try again, learning from their mistakes and how we can improve with a "can do" attitude. This is why I believe in children making their own choices as it creates a hands on approach in which they can explore, create and learn. I believe that children are unique and must have a stimulating educational environment where they can grow physically, mentally, emotionally and socially.

I believe as an early childhood educator that we can shape the values and beliefs of an individual forever, through respect, kindness, and encouragement. Allowing each individual child to express themselves freely and become their own person is the most rewarding thing I can think of and being a child's safety net in times of need is what drives me to be the best educator I can be. I believe through a safe environment and respectful relationships children can unlock their full potential. This may not be the same for every child but that is exactly what makes the learning and development of children such a wonderful thing. No two children are the same and this is an amazing thing. My goal as an educator is to help the children learn and grow as individuals, as well as allowing myself to learn from them and become the best educator I can be.

I believe nurturing and caring for young minds is one of the most crucial parts of early-stage development. Creating fun and engaging ways for children to explore their individuality whilst also letting them express their own feelings and emotions, teaching them to be a part of a group and interacting with others in a friendly and caring manner is of high importance. Helping children to develop and grow their minds, bodies and souls to be the best they can be for their future. I aim to provide a safe and comfortable environment for the children to learn and thrive to the greatest of their ability. Helping children to find themselves as a person, who they are and who they want to be is extremely fulfilling and rewarding.

ClaireEducator

Diploma of Early Education and Care

I believe that all children should be provided with high quality care and the opportunity to learn. All children should learn in a happy, encouraging, friendly and healthy environment. Children learn through their surroundings, through play and through the encouragement of their friends, their teachers and their families. With the right guidance from other’s, children will grow up to encourage, change and help the world. Children are the future! I believe that you can’t change the world, but you can start in your own little corner of the world, this is possible through teaching children. We can achieve amazing and wonderful things through happiness, love, tolerance, fun, belief and the will to constantly learn. I believe that all of these things are important in a child’s life and I hope to achieve this.

As an Early Childhood Educator, I believe each child should be given the opportunity to express themselves without judgement and feel comfortable and safe in their environment. I believe this is vital for children’s young minds as it will assist in shaping who they will become in the future. I believe children thrive off our support, good teaching practices and positive relationships. I love being able to teach children the important key qualities in life such as compassion, social skills, creativity, resilience and so much more. I find working in this industry extremely rewarding as I can see how each child that I work with is special and unique.

I believe childhood is the most important stage of life as it is the stage we learn and grow the most. I believe it is important to ensure that every child feels safe and supported as it helps them to learn new life skills and make new relationships with educators and other children.

LeilaEducator

Working towards Certificate 3 in Early Education and Care

I believe as someone who is trusted to look after children, it is my duty to provide care and a safe space that allows the child to grow and learn independently, with my support. Each child is unique, and I aim to guide them in a positive direction into developing a strong sense of identity and allow them to be fully themselves. This comes from the constant love and encouragement from their peers and educators, and I adore being that for them. I find it motivating to come into the Centre each day and have the privilege of developing a fun, loving friendship with each child. Having a personal relationship with the children, and seeing them explore and learn new things and skills is so rewarding - it is my absolute pleasure!

Roberta Centre Cook

Being a mother of 5 children can bring its own challenges, especially when dealing with 5 different personalities. But to know that in some way, I have shaped and nurtured these children into the adults they will become is undeniably the strongest emotion in the human soul. I believe, to be apart of any child's life in a positive way and to know that you may have taught them a new skill, or to read, created a long lasting memory, surprise them with your knowledge, made a meal they will remember or just make them smile makes it all worthwhile. Behind every child who believe in themselves is a parent or teacher who believed first!
