Time Well Spent

 
One of the most valuable leanings that I take with me from the Masters in Early Childhood is that we never stop learning. That it is important that we research and explore the most recent events and research in the field of education not only in our country, but around the world. This will help us better understand what are the struggles and successes parents, professionals and government has in regards to education.

That parents are the most important resources in the life of their children and that it is our job to guide, mentor, support, lead, and advocate.  That nobody knows their children better than they do, and it is important that we convey this message constantly.

That Communication is a key factor for success in all areas of your life that is not only about taking but listening. Listening with an open mind, trying to set aside your bias so that the work of actually listening can take place, and judgments actually avoided.

A long term goal that I have in my professional life, is to be able to open my own childcare center, and be able to put in practice all what I have learned. To provide the children and parents a place where they can feel welcomed, appreciated and valued for who they are and not for what they have or come from.

I would like to express my most sincere appreciation to all my instructors and colleagues during the course of my master’s degree. Their knowledge, guidance and support help me accomplish one of my biggest dreams, to be able to obtain a Masters degree in the field that I feel the most passion and respect. For me the field of Early Childhood is none of the most important fields of work that any person can do. We have one of the biggest responsibilities, which is to prepare the leaders of the future.

Thank you and I wish all the best of luck as professionals, advocates and leader for the rights of all children and their families.
