| A child's development is at their own pace. The six domains are the principles of a child's development. Those six domains are: language, creative, gross motor, cognitive, social and emotional. | Based upon the theories of Lev Vygotsky, I believe children are best taught with a guardian standing by to help, but not immediately assisting but instead letting them struggle just to the point of giving up and then giving that tiny bit of help to achieve their goal. |

| Our philosophy comes from Jean Piagets Cognitive Development Theory. We believe children are able to speak because of their environment and the skills they have already in them. We believe teachers should provide experiences that further develop children’s skills and extend classroom learning. We hope to empower children, build confidence, and provide positive experiences. | |

| My philosophy of education reflects on my current views and stands of the classroom. My belief of education aligns to the Theory of Constructivism. In the constructivist theory, the student selects and transforms information, builds hypotheses, and makes decisions; its focus is on how to construct knowledge, not retelling information learned. I think that what we learn is constructed through one’s personal experiences, previous knowledge, and beliefs. For me as an educator, this means that I try and encourage students to discover new principles by themselves. I will give them the opportunity to have conversations among their classmates and with myself. My main task as a teacher is to present information to be learned that matches or closely matches the student’s level of learning. | My teaching philosophy is that all children are different and must have a stimulating educational environment where they further develop in all areas. I strive to give this environment to all children so that they can meet their full potential in my class. I will also create a safe and welcoming space for all children and their families. |

| I believe that all children are unique and beautiful individuals with such a love to give. Children are intelligent and gifted, and I will strive every day to encourage children to never give up, follow their dreams, accept themselves for who they are, and be accepting of everyone else. I will incorporate lesson plans that encourage children to grow socially, physically, mentally, and emotionally, and open my classroom to be a safe space for all children to be creative. | I believe that children should be in a safe, caring, and equitable environments where they are able to grow and develop. I will provide children with the tools and strategies they need to be responsible for their own selves and their learning. By doing this, they will learn to believe in themselves, care for others, and love themselves. |

| Children are unique and develop at their own pace, but the influence of culture on their development is clearly considerable. It may even affect children’s ability to reach different developmental milestones but research on this complex topic remains inconclusive. Importantly, knowledge of cultural differences can also help us identify what all children have in common: an insatiable curiosity about the world and a love of those around them. | |

| Based upon the theories by Maria Montessori and Lev Vygotsky, I believe that children benefit from interactions with their peers and through hands-on activities and lessons. I believe it is important that we create a safe environment for our students, an environment in which they can express themselves in a creative way, while at the same time learning. | Following along the path of Robert Gagne, there are 9 steps needed to facilitate learning for the children. By completing these steps in order the children will retain more information. This will also allow the children to learn through hands-on experience and get feedback for their work. |

| My goal in teaching is to be inclusive to all children and their families. I will provide resources and support for children to receive optimal learning and development. I believe in creating trusting relationships with children and their families. All children and families should feel welcomed and supported in a safe environment. | When teaching young children my philosophy is that it is important to remember that each child is a unique individual. It is critical that students and families feel welcomed and this is done by providing a safe and secure classroom environment for all. It is equally important that children have the opportunity to experience and explore their environments in a positive and supportive atmosphere. |

| My teaching philosophy is based on Piaget's theories that children need opportunities to be creative and express themselves. I hope to create an environment that encourages children to use their imaginations, engage in play, and seek out their own learning. By doing this, they will be capable of problem solving and gain confidence in their abilities to discover and learn new things. | Based upon the theories by Albert Bandura, I believe the best way that children learn and develop new skills and information is by observing the actions of others. I hope to provide an environment where children are supported by teachers, materials, and a rich learning environment, where they feel safe to explore, initiate learning and are free to express themselves. |
