I would like to work with children, but I do not know how I would like to work with children at this time.

Through my practicum in a kindergarten, I expect to find how I would like to work with children. It could be a teacher, a program manager, or work for a company that provides child related items. Thus, I expect to realize my own ability and which educational area are the best to work with children with my abilities.
The kindergarten, it is called “yochien” in Japanese, usually offer three or two-year program. For the three-year program, children must have reached three years old by April 1st of the entrance year. However, the kindergarten that I’m working for offers four-year program for children who have reached two years old by April 1st. The four-year program began April 2016, so it is still a new program. The kindergarten had had “pre-school” program for two years old children by March 2016, but the program had offered the class only one day or two days a week with parent(s). The new program offers classes for five days a week without parent(s) like three or two-year program. …show more content…

For example, older children come to the kindergarten in school uniform and then change clothes to training wear by themselves. Children in the four-year program come to the kindergarten in training wear so that they do not have to change the clothes. In addition, they can not participate in some events such as potato digging and music recital because they are too young to participate in. Therefore, the class teachers need to make daily activities plan based on children’s

The presence of preschool classes in a states education system has been proven to yield significant improvements in a child’s educational achievement.

A new technology has recently emerged that has given scientists the ability to quickly and precisely edit the genetic structure of any living organism. This method is known as CRISPR. Scientists have been using different methods of trying to artificially edit genes for almost half a century, however, these methods were always tenuous and could take years of research to change a single gene.

Reflecting on my educational and practical experiences, I appreciate the infinite influence that teachers have on children. I realise that children will take the skills and knowledge learnt in the classroom and use it throughout their lives. I know a teacher has to deal with many daily pressures and challenges, in the classroom. However, I feel I require the skills needed to deal with these challenges. As a teacher I hope not only to be an educator but a positive role model, whom the children can look up to and trust.

Through this knowledge, the teacher can presume how children of a particular age group will act, what they are capable of doing and what they are not likely able to do. Consequently, the teacher can devise activities rather confidently by taking all these aspects into consideration. At this stage, the teacher can take advantage of the windows of opportunity for the child’s growth. In other words, the teacher benefits from the sensitive period of a child’s development to provide him with enriching activities; the best period for the child to learn and develop further. In addition, what the children learn should be relevant to their environment and life experiences.

There are a great number of studies that state that the first five years of a child’s development are the most important and that they will set the tone for the child’s ability to learn, socialize, and be a successful member of society. Because of this, proponents believe that preschool should become mandatory for all children. While this might seem like a good solution to some, preschool should not be mandatory for all children before they enter kindergarten. There are many factors to be considered in a child 's early development and to put a blanket demand on entering preschool, could be a disservice to some children based on parental influences, environmental factors, and the level of education and care being given in a particular home childcare
