The first one is the imaginary audience and personal fable seems to capture what have been viewed as typical fact of adolescent behavior. For example, self-consciousness and conformity to the peer group in regard to appearance can be understood as resulting from the belief that other (i.e., the imaginary audience) is always watching and judging. Feeling of isolation and…
As your constituent, I ask you to support and expand access to high--quality early care and education for Infants and Toddlers. High-quality care and education is fundamental for children in their primary years of life when they are first learning and discovering. Infants and toddlers need early care and educators who have specific knowledge of the development of infants and toddlers, offer a reliable relationship, respond to their individual needs, and cultivate their growth and development. A young child’s relationship with his or her caregiver influences the child’s cognitive, language, social, and emotional growth.…
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. Brian Sutton-Smith (1997) a well-known play theorist believes that a child is born with a very active neuronal which will ease to function if not used. Children at an early age are capable of developing neurological function with will help them to solve problems, understand communication through language, respond to simple command and gain knowledge through the learning process. This activity requires any child to used physical function of the body for example muscles, nerves and senses. It’s always about learning as they progress…

Early childhood education programs provide parents with an opportunity, the opportunity to give their child a head start in social, cognitive, and motor development. This head start can prepare a child for kindergarten and the future grade levels.

This essay will address questions that support early childhood education programs, such as discussing the trend, research, and analysis which supports the programs.…
In order for school leaders to be effective administrators in today’s public schools there are many events within the history of American education they need to understand and know. It is important, as a leader, to know how the public school system has evolved over the years, and understand why current and past laws have been put in place. They also need to know the history behind early childhood and secondary education to understand why things vary between the two. Leaders need to also understand the history and experiences of the diverse cultures within their schools.…
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.…
The role of early childhood professional today is radically different from what it was two or three years ago. The dimensions of professionalism and the characteristics of the high-quality professional remain the same, but responsibilities, expectations, and roles have changed. Teachers of today are more accountable for children’s learning. The emphasis is no longer on the process of schooling. An educator who successfully teaches all children, promotes high personal standards, and continually expands his or her skills and knowledge.…

My philosophy of Early childhood education is based on research that indicates that a child’s growth is developmental. Every child is unique in terms of life experiences, developmental readiness, and cultural heritage. A high quality early childhood program that provides a safe and nurturing environment, which promotes physical, social, emotional, language and cognitive development will ensure a positive continuation of the child’s education process. The National Association for the Education of Young Children states that high quality, developmentally appropriate programs should be available for all children. Bredekamp, S., and T. Rosegrant. 1992. Reaching Potentials: Introduction. In S. Bredekamp and R. Rosegrant (Eds.). Reaching Potentials: Appropriate Curriculum and Assessment for Young Children,* vol. 1, pp. 2-8. Washington, D.C.: National Association for the Education of Young Children. This is a statement that I firmly believe in and hope to incorporate in my teaching career. Young children before the age of eight, have an enormous potential for growth and achievement. And it is my philosophy that they have to right to fulfill their possibilities. A young child who is nurtured to reach for his or her educational goals from an early age and has been instilled with self-confidence will continue to pursue educational goals as he or she matures .…
I believe that each child, infant, toddler and older, are each unique and has the potential to leave their own mark on the world. My philosophy would be to provide a stimulating atmosphere in which infants and toddlers can grow and mature in many areas including emotionally, physically, socially, and intellectually while in a safe environment. This environment will not only be safe, it will allow children’s curiosity to direct their learning, promote respect for things and people, and help the teacher guide the children.…
The early years of a child’s life are crucial to their growth and development. Early education is important for all children. During the period of early childhood, children need a great deal of care and support to aid them in their development. Early childhood education seeks to prepare young children to succeed in school as well as in their life. Early childhood is a time in a child’s life where they begin to shape their identity, communication skills, intelligence, and problem solving skills that they will carry with them throughout their life and it will help them grow.…
The lesson they had was just a review of their unit which is about animals – their habitat, movement, body parts and ways on taking care of them. The teacher assessed the students by using their workbook in Science. The teacher explained the instructions and gave an example. In the worksheet it says there, On the line, write W for water animal, L for land animal, and B for both water and land animal. She used the first question as an example, she said “so, where can we find a frog, water, land or both land and water?” the students answered both land and water and teacher replied “what are you going to put on…
There are several different philosophers and theories that have had great impact on today’s early childhood education. As educators we all have different philosophies on education and values. There are two philosophers that I believe that best correlate with my philosophy of education and values. The first philosopher that best correlates with my philosophy is Jean Piaget. Jean Piaget was a developmental psychologist and philosopher known for his epistemological studies with children. As Jean Piaget did studies on children he noticed that children constantly gave incorrect answers to certain questions. Piaget was not interested in the fact that children were wrong, but the fact that they made mistakes the older children and adults did not. It is…
