Philosophy of Teaching
“Children don’t care how much you know, until they
know how much you care.”
– Jim Fay
The first years of school begin the essential foundation of learning for a child. As a teacher of young children, I aim to develop creative thinkers and independent learners who strive to do their best. I believe all children have the potential to succeed.
There are many factors that come into play in a child’s education. Children learn best when they feel safe and secure in their environment. It is important for all children to learn in a warm, stimulating, and multi-sensory environment, one that supports children’s individual needs and interests. A classroom environment should also promote responsibility, independence, and cooperation. The daily home and school environment is very influential to a child’s learning.
Children do not come to school with the same prior experiences and knowledge. I believe it is important to look at the “whole child.” I recognize and appreciate the differences in my students. It is important to adapt my teaching to each child’s needs. Children are active participants in their own learning process, not simply passive receivers of information. I aim to support children’s feelings and accomplishments. I want all children to become successful learners.
