| My teaching philosophy encompasses creating inclusive and equitable safe spaces where diverse children and families feel welcomed, valued, and represented. I believe that children learn best when they are in an environment that recognizes and reflects their cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Educators play a crucial role in creating bridges between children’s home and school environments and play an active role in collaborating with families, educational professionals, resources, and the greater community in championing for the growth and success of young learners. | I believe each and every child has the potential to learn and master new things. My goal as a teacher is to help children find the correct strategies to help them succeed. I also believe that reading and providing a safe environment for children will help with their literacy skills as well as their brain development. |

| Based on Lev Vygotsky's social learning theory that children learn actively with hands-on experiences, we believe that children are best motivated in an environment that encourages participation, collaboration, and engagement with their families, teachers, and peers. Children can thrive in an environment that motivates them to construct, inquire, explore, discover, experiment, and investigate the world around them. | |

| Based upon the theories by B.F. Skinner and Lev Vygotsky, I believe that children learn language from their environment and through play. Hands-on learning is key for children to be able to practice language. With that being said, it is crucial to provide a rich learning environment for children making sure it is safe and nurturing so they can have valuable social interactions with others. | Based upon the theories by Loris Malaguzzi, I believe that children learn best when supported by teachers, materials, and a rich learning environment, where they feel safe to explore, initiate learning and free to express themselves. Children construct knowledge through active engagement with the environment which it is important to create an environment where children are able to learn and engage with those around them. |

My teaching philosophy supports children’s development across all domains by incorporating a rich, child-oriented environment and providing natural materials. My goal is to give children the opportunities to reach their fullest potential by allowing children to construct their own knowledge through an intentional and play- based curriculum. |
My philosophy of education is that all children are unique, and I will present a stimulating educational environment where they can grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. It is my desire to create this type of atmosphere where students can meet their full potential. I will provide a safe environment where students are invited to express themselves and accept themselves for who they are, as well as embrace the differences of others. |
