Early Childhood Educator in Ottawa, Ontario

From the nature of my education and experience, I have prepared myself extensively for role of an early childhood educator. Through university and college level programs that focused on developmentally appropriate programming, nurturing teaching methods, and emergent curriculum design, as well as work experience that combined education and teaching with childcare, I have a wide range of skills that make me ideal as both an educator and a nurturing, trusted adult to children. From the experience that I have working with children of various age groups, ranging from infancy to school age, I am proficient at creating age-appropriate curricula that helps children develop their physical, social, emotional, linguistic, and cognitive skills. With children, I am highly effective with behavioural guidance, role-modeling, and positive reinforcement measures that empower children to want to learn and explore, while maintaining respect for each other and their environment. Although I am a recent Early Childhood Education graduate, the consistently positive feedback that I have received from satisfied supervisors, families, and other educators, over the last five years that I have worked with children, make me confident that I will be an ideal early childhood educator. I have worked with children with special needs when I was volunteering as an Emergency Care Provider at the Redwood Women's Shelter.
