Description: At Shining Stars Preschool I believe: Children should be in a welcoming setting in their early years where they feel safe and happy; Physical, mental, social, and emotional learning should happen as a result of fun, developmental activities; Children should learn how to relate to others with respect and honesty; Time should be allowed for children to play and learn individually and in groups; Parents and teachers should work together as a team to provide a positive experience for the children. My Philosophy as a teacher: The early years of children’s lives are the most critical when it comes to their development. They are growing and learning at a phenomenal rate. I believe that it is very important to have a child in an environment that is consistent and secure. Children need to be able to form secure attachments not only with their parents but also their teachers/caregivers. Simply being in a loving and nurturing environment forms these types of attachments. I want the children to feel as comfortable and secure as they would in their own home. I will strive to provide a safe, comfortable, stimulating, fun, and educational environment with a structured day plan. Activities will include free playtime, structured playtime, gross (large) motor skills playtime, fine (small) motor skills activities, story time and theater activities, arts and crafts, music and dance activities, nature and ecology awareness, nutrition, cultural activities, and other educational yet fun activities. I will also encourage good personal hygiene skills and manners. Through a mixture of guided and undirected creative play, children in my preschool will have the opportunity to learn about color, shapes, textures, numbers, letters, animals, seasons, feelings, senses, nutrition, personal hygiene, manners, basic science and math concepts, and creative concepts such as “pretend” play, art, music, drama, and dance. These are all things that most preschoolers are able to learn through creative, educational play. Each child will be allowed to learn at his/her own pace. I will not force a child to achieve developmental milestones. There will never be pressure on a child to learn something faster than he/she is able to.
