One hope that I have when working with early childhood students and their families is that they all receive the resources that will make a difference in their lives and in the way that they view education. Each child should be made to feel as though learning and school are exciting explorations of the world rather than something that they have to stress over.
One goal that I would like to set for the field of early childhood education is to come out of the box and embrace each child and love each child for who they are before us, not who we could possibly mold them to be or who they could be if they did this or that. Children should be loved by teachers, and although some students make it harder to love them, those are the students who need it the most. There are things about each of us that we are not thrilled about, but that does not mean that we are a waste, we all have good points and the ability to love and be loved- if not, this profession is not for you.
I would like to say thank you to the awesome group that I collaborated with during this course. I have enjoyed learning about you and from all of you. I truly believe that the collaboration makes the courses more meaningful and the material that we learn more relevant. Good luck and best wishes to all of you only your journey!
