Statement of Goals- Early Childhood Education
My main reason for applying for Early Childhood Education is because I love children. I love working with them. I come from a bigger family. I am the oldest out of five children. I would take care of them all from time to time when ever my parents would go out for a night. Sometimes my parents would leave overnight to go on a little vacation by themselves and I would watch my siblings overnight. I also use to babysit for other people around our community as I was growing up. As I got older and started to think about college, I knew that I wanted to attend a great school that would have a program for Education.
After I graduated from high school May of 2010, I took some time to think about the career path that I wanted to follow. A couple months after I graduated from high school, I applied for a job at the Early Explorers Head Start in Anamoose, ND. I did not get the job that I applied for but that was okay because the next day I got a call from the School District offering me another job. They offered me the job of the assistant substitute teacher in the Early Explorers classroom. I accepted the job offer and started working in September of 2010. I loved the job so much. There was also something special in the job for me, my baby brother was also in that class. My experiences have been very rewarding so far and have inspired me to want to continue along this path and seek further knowledge in the field. It truly does mean so much to me knowing that I have helped those children learn so many new things in life that will help them with their social and cognitive development.
I loved being able to walk into the classroom and see all of those children run up to me with smiling faces saying that they miss me, asking me if I will be staying the whole day or asking me if I could play or read with them. They make me laugh, they give me hugs, they cheer for my presence and they are so observant. The most amazing feeling of all though is when the children tell me they

    I was born and raised in the Commonwealth of Dominica and my interest in working with young children started at a very early age. When I was 8 my mother would take me to a home daycare after school and collect me after she got off work in the evening. It is there that my maternal instincts would begin to show. The children were ages 0-2 years of age and I being the oldest would help care for the little ones by feeding and playing with them. I always looked forward in going there after school. The children made me so happy. As I grew older my desire to work with children became much stronger. In 1989 I came to the United States to study Early Childhood Education and became a preschool teacher at 22. After teaching for 10 years I challenged myself in other areas relating to childcare. I worked as a youth counselor and activities coordinator for Carnival Cruise Lines for 3 years. I also enjoyed being a party planner and entertaining children at parties. Working as a play and music instructor for Gymboree Play and Music was so much fun and I got a lot of babysitting requests from that experience, which opened the door to becoming a nanny.…

    In the mind of a child ‘play’ constitute what they experience through activity taking place during a specific period time collectively with friends, family members or individually alone in his or her personal space.

Through the support of my parents, assistance of good teachers and my own determination I was able to overcome many hindrances.

    If you ask someone to list for you the most important jobs of our society, teachers always make the list sometimes beating out careers like doctor or lawyer. Ironically, for a career we value so much, teaching has never been a well paying profession. But times are about to change. Due to an increasing demand and a fixed supply, salaries for early education teachers are expected to increase within the next decade. The United States Board of Labor ranks this career as one of the highest paying of the next ten years, with an expected median tenure salary of over ninety thousand by the year 2012. Even taking into account inflation, working conditions, and different people 's preferred lifestyle, it is reasonable to say that a career in early childhood education can provide a very comfortable living.…

    This previous summer, I took care of three girls every day. One story from this summer was taking the youngest girl to swimming lessons every weekday for thirty minutes. After swimming lessons, we would travel to my house and go swimming. There, I helped and trained her to swim with a pool noodle. By the end of the summer, with lots of practice, she was able to swim all by herself. During this experience, I found myself following a routine, teaching the girls something new, and experiencing different teaching techniques. Now, I am currently working in the admissions office at Seward County Community College. I work one hour, three days a week. Working in the admissions office has helped me gain experience working with students and teachers who need assistance. Unfortunately, I sit in a chair and work on a computer which is something I don't like doing. Both of these work experiences, through the good times and bad, have help guide me to the teaching career I wish to have.…

I never had much of an interest in my safety classes and solely chose the major based off good things people had told me. After college I would like to work in an elementary school; currently I think I would like to teach any grade from first through third.…

    "It must be remembered that the purpose of education is not to fill the minds of students with facts ... it is to teach them to think, if that is possible, and always to think for themselves." Robert Hutchins. It is very clear to me that a successful early childhood program must provide a safe and nurturing environment that promotes social, emotional, physical and cognitive development. Young children need a warm and inviting atmosphere to learn. Children must have their basic needs met before any learning can take place. Safety, nutrition, and shelter are a few needs which must be provided. Although early childhood centers may not directly provide these services outside the regular school day, administrators must connect with outside agencies in order to recommend and provide families with necessary services.…
