Developing a family like atmosphere is of great importance I believe creating a connection between home and service, working in partnership with families to develop the child as a whole in a mutually supportive and caring environment. Forming foundations of support is vital through open ended communication, enables me to provide seamless and holistic care, not only for the children but for families as well. I believe in providing a warm, loving, educational and approachable environment that fosters independence. To encourage all children to make choices and to experiment and explore their environment freely. I wish to employ an approach of sensitivity by understanding each child’s individual interests, needs and developmental stages whilst considering the context of their family. It is also vital that I show respect towards other educator’s values, beliefs and cultures, listen to others, and be open to possibilities and new perspectives.

Children are our future. It is my passion and motivation to create a positive and nurturing early years for all children. I believe creating a safe and secure learning environment for children will enable them to grow and develop as individuals. Every child is different, they require specific attention, support, direction, love, care, and, above all, opportunities to thrive. I am an advocate for children, giving each one of them at Karimbla, the love and support they need and deserve. I hear their voice and recognise their unique and individual personalities. I believe that a strong relationship and partnership with families will create more opportunities to further support children’s learning and development. I have been in Early Childhood Education for over 10 years and my love and passion for educating and caring for children continues to grow and evolve.

I believe that Early Childhood is the most integral part of a child’s upbringing, and it is vital as an educator to ensure every child is happy, well-adjusted and cared for. I believe every single child deserves a safe and positive environment where every child can feel free to express themselves, grow and learn, and are encouraged to appreciate their differences and learn from them.

My personal philosophy is to create a safe space for growing adolescents and infants. Where they can pursue personal endeavours indiscriminately and learn essential life skills for the near future. Ensuring that their needs are met while also aiding in their overall physiological and psychological development.

Children are born ready to learn. Over the span of many years they will have to acquire new skills. They depend on parents, family members and caregivers as their first teachers to develop the right skills to become independent and lead healthy and successful lives. The first years of a child’s development are crucial to their health, wellbeing and overall trajectory of their lives in various ways. Providing a safe and nurturing environment is a critical part of their development. Being a mother of four young adults, an aunt to many and caregiver to countless children over the years, I understand the importance of creating a positive, loving and nurturing environment here at Karimbla Early Learning Centre. I will strive to model respect, patience and care for all children and adults I come in contact with. I will always endeavour to help create a safe space for all children to explore and initiate learning, so they are able to freely and creatively express themselves.

As an educator, it is my absolute pleasure to be able to provide a fun, interactive and safe environment where children are encouraged to learn, develop, discover and grow. My aim is to develop strong and meaningful relationships with children by encouraging them to explore their surroundings, experiment with materials and interact in play-based learning activities. I absolutely love having the opportunity to assist children in everyday learning activities which help them to develop their own unique skills, talents and personalities!

As an early learning educator, I believe every child deserves to thrive. My goal as I grow as a teacher is not only to aid in the development of essential skills, giving encouragement and helping children met their needs but to be observant towards the things each child takes interest in. Building up their self-worth by investing in them and giving them some control in choosing what they want to learn, while still making the basics interesting. I also have a strong belief that not every child will learn in the same way, and it is my duty as an educator to be flexible and find what works for them.

I hope to be able to instill in the children a life long love of learning and to support them to become caring and confident in everything they do. I believe Early Education should be fun, if we are having fun then the children are having fun too. I believe through play based learning the children can develop their social skills and problem solving skills and gain the confidence required to engage in new experiences and environments. I really love working with children in the Early Years and nurturing them while they grow and learn in a happy, caring and kind environment.

I believe that creating a safe and nurturing environment is vital for the development of children and their well-being. To achieve this, my goals are that the children are met with positive role models, that they create special bonds with their educators, and they feel a sense of belonging to both their rooms and peer groups. Creating special bonds with their educators allows them to grow and develop in their own time, whilst also helping them to feel loved and supported as they navigate their way through childhood. The relationship between the educators and families are also very important, so that families feel their children are being looked after and their child’s every needs are catered to. I aim to support and encourage these young ones in every way I can and to always do what is best for them.

The home and the early childhood educational centre happens to be one of the most important places for the socialisation of the child. It is where they learn, grow and develop as an individual. My aim is to provide a safe, loving, comfortable, enjoyable and caring place of learning for the children utilising my skills, past experiences and knowledge. Children need the assurance of being loved and cared for while they are enjoying an educational environment. Teaching, looking after and just being with children is my passion.
AlyceEducator

As an Educator I strive to ensure that all children feel safe, respected and supported within their educational environment. I enjoy working as part of team and creating a team atmosphere that promotes respect and professionalism. I believe in play based learning where children learn and develop through play. Having a curriculum that reflects the children’s interests, needs and strengths, supports exploration, imagination, creativity and curiosity. Lastly, Parents and families are the first and primary Educators of their children. The child’s home is their first classroom.

Children are amazing little people that absorb so much from a young age. They are capable learners that thrive when they are supported and feel safe and secure in their learning environment. I love seeing children happy in their learning environment and it brings me so much joy to hear their laughter and play. Children deserve to feel loved, respected and appreciated.
