Early Childhood Educator in Thornhill, Ontario

I'm an
Individual
I would say that my experience with children has been very heartwarming through the positive relationships I have been able to build with them.I have learnt a treasure of facts regarding the complexity of child behavior on one hand and their simplicity and naivety on the other.I value building trusting relationships by appreciating each individual child, being sensitive to their cues since it is indeed the trust and emotional bond that will shape the child's future. My current childcare follows the Core Knowledge theory of cognitive development as well as the Montessori approach..... I have a morning group of 8 preschoolers aged 2.5 to 3.5 years and an afternoon group of preschoolers aged 3 to 4 years including 2 children with exceptionalities aged 4.5 and 5 years. There are 6 ECEs with 8 children in their group in the 2 preschool rooms, reporting to our team leader. I have to mention a child who loves tow trucks. In the dramatic room he would dress up as a tow truck driver wearing a costume..... paints a tow truck in various lines and shapes in the art studio. We glued the paper paintings on to a cardboard and taped it from the sides and corners, fixed pipe cleaner wheels and made a tow truck over a period of three days. The best part is we named it Tiger's Tow Truck (tiger is my group's name) and displayed it in the class. This highlights the significance of emergent curriculum as it stimulates and allows children to learn about the world around them since it is based purely on their interests. I have in my care for the past one year a 4.5 year old child diagnosed with autism.Currently we are working on his oral language, eating habits in collaboration with the E.I., the Speech Pathologist and his parents..... is a great experience to see him use his first few words, "more please!" and "now I hug!" spreading his arms towards me as a result of following the strategies when earlier he used his hands for aggressive behavior like taking away toys from peers by pushing them. I also have another 5 year old girl with speech delay. She has begun to use a few words like "ilk" for milk and "enkyu" for thankyou. We communicate using the sign language and a picture tablet created for her keeping in mind her needs and interests. She is doing great with toilet training, it was an aha moment when she had a bowel movement for the first time as she sat on the toilet.Mommy's grateful smile is a memory that will stay in my heart forever. I have had her with me for my entire 2 years in the preschool room and she will be moving to JK this year - the bitter sweet outcome of a team of the parents, EI, speech pathologist, occupational therapist and the CAS as well working together in collaboration. Besides I have also had the privilege to work with special needs children at Zareinu which is a school and treatment centre for a wide range of physical and developmental challenges during my field placement.
