The importance of the work we do as early childhood educators
are as much about the families of children and the communities, as it is about
children. Because, children will develop identity, we know all children have
individual personalities; they're born with temperaments, and they have
preferences like adults have.
Children
need to know they are valued. As early childhood educators we have to continue to
grow to help young children to be able to move forward. We need to have the
passion to create a just world for all diverse children (Laureate Education,
2012).
Everyone
has the ability to inspire others. When children are in preschool, it is the
most critical time of their life. As early childhood educators doing what you
believe is the first step of doing what you will always be proud of. (Laureate
Education, 2012).

Dr. Teri,
This course was the
most challenging for me at Walden. I will
carry it wherever my future takes me.
To All My colleagues,
I don’t know how to
thank you for all your support of my challenge; you have given me more than you
will ever know. To have a group of such caring and devoted individuals in the
early childhood field lets me know children in our care will be okay with the
world. Good luck to all of you. Please keep in touch with me. My e-mail is kstokes@comcast.net.

Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteyour capstone project these past 8 weeks was inspirational for me, and I hope you never forget this feeling you have now of such accomplishment and pride. I love that you add in this post that children need to know they are valued. What a wonderful feeling it is to allow a child to feel appreciated just for who they are at that moment. I know you will do great things for the children with whom you work. Congratulations on completing your degree!

Hello Kathleen
ReplyDeleteThank you for your words of encouragement in early childhood education. At times it can be rough dealing with all the different personalities working in this field and for a moment I was really thinking about working in elementary school but I know that is not my calling. I do know that I can make a difference with the younger ones because they are more impressionable and can obtain more information especially good information that will start them on their way in achieving higher education. Stay true to early childhood because these children now being raised by children need good role models and educators that will fight for their rights of children and families to help families to become self-sufficient while helping children receive high-quality care.
