When going into the field of an Early Childhood Educator there are different values that one should have. In my opinion Early Childhood Educators should have foundation skills of how children learn, should know how to support diverse knowledge, should be able to model the correct language, should have classroom management skills, and should be able to create a safe environment for all children. According to the NAEYC core values Early Childhood Educators should base work on knowledge of how children develop and learn, which goes with my first opinion with Early Childhood educators having the foundation skills of how children learn. NAEYC core values also states that recognize that children are best understood and supported and
1.1. Why should early childhood development teachers not use food in art activities, such as painting and collage? Because children are still in the process of learning to distinguish between food and other objects that are not to be eaten it can result in causing confusion in the young learner so therefore it best not to use food items for eating as art materials. Also art work such as paintings and collages that makes use of food can most definitely not be displayed and kept for long periods of time as it can attract insects and go off or moldy. This could have a negative effect on the child if his art work no longer looks as beautiful as it did when he created it.
Therefore, educator must have to find the teaching strategies which will keep their students motivated and engaged. Observing children is also important part in early childhood education. From the observation teacher can have a basic knowledge about the child. According to children’s interest, their strength and weakness educator can set up the activities for group of children or individual child to extend their skills and knowledge. Moreover, getting to know how other educator in the room doing will help me to support them also easier for me to create the activities for children in the future.
NAEYC argued for salaries and benefits to be linked to qualifications and responsibilities. In 1999, Child and Youth Care forum published a series of articles in a symposium on the professionalization of the early childhood care through developing a positive relationship between professional development and the status and salaries of the childcare staff. The need for improved child outcomes, quality programs, and teacher qualifications has continued to frame the discussion around professional status. The improved wages for childcare staff was still missing from major initiatives. Unless, childcare staff wages were included in all the initatives, the efforts to improve program quality and child outcomes would be very
Early Childhood Education demonstrates not just the teaching, but the care of children in other environments outside of the home as well. Early Childhood Centers are on the development of accepting all children; no matter their gender, race, abilities, or ethnic orientation. It gives the knowledge of the early childhood learning process, which involves values, culture, the parents’ or parent’s desires for their children or child, and especially the child’s need to be highly educated in order to function within a society that demands for a privileged calling. An observation was held during the History Is Power Program; or H.I.P.P. for short, is a community–based afterschool program held in the Community Room at Georgia King Village located

Early childhood professionals are from diverse professional backgrounds. They use multidisciplinary approaches to provide better support to families and draw on the skills and expertise of their peers.
The important reason to makes a good and professional early childhood educator is to communicate with children and try to understand them. I did not have any working experience in kindergarten, but I have some experience of taking care of a child due to my mother is a babysitter. The child that my mother takes care is a boy and he’s autism. He is a child that sometimes like lives in his own world and sometimes he is also hyperactive. He likes to sing, dance and write.
Ireland should at least make it a compulsory factor that all staff should have a minimum of a level 6 degree in childcare before being hired. Better qualifications can lead to better quality provisions. One similarity between Norway and Ireland is that both countries do however use the incredible years programme. This programme aims to promote social competence, problem solving, emotional regulation and reduce unacceptable behaviours in children (Incredible Years, 2013). What really matters is the ability of the staff to create a high-quality pedagogic environment that makes the difference for
