Needless to say I have discovered several heartfelt learning
in this program. As I think back to the start of this program keeping in mind
my undergraduate was in a different field. I found the benefits of play in the
lives of children in the early childhood stages quite interesting. I honestly
believe without gaining the knowledge and concept behind the importance of play
I would have been one of those teachers trying to make learning machine out of
young people. The next issue that was significant to me was the realization
that in order to be beneficial to young children you have to concentrate on the
entire family unit. Prior to this I would have only seek to help the child
which would have been very counterproductive due to parent being the first
teacher to their children. In order to get give the best to children you have
to support everyone that is significant in their life. My final deep felt
learning was how influential biases and isms are in this field and even more
how to address my own so that they want prevent me from being an asset to the
field.
My long time goal or commitment to the field of early
childhood is to support and empower every family with young children to be all
that they can be and advocating for the equal education opportunity for all
children in the world. Children are our
future it here in their lives that that gain the significant skill to be the
future leader with need to carry the world. I am committed to giving them that
opportunity.

I think that it is great that you now understand the importance of play in a child's development and learning! If only administrators and policy makers would learn the same. Best of luck, Kvonya! I have enjoyed your discussion and blog posts! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi Kvonya,
ReplyDeleteLearning how valuable play is in the development of a child is something I learned as well. I think it's amazing how all of the thing we do come together to help in learning process of children such as play allows them time to be creative and to explore. Building relationships with the parents encourages learning because the parents are involved. You touched on so much that I learned as well because my bachelor degree is in a different field of study too. I enjoyed reading all of your posts--they have been very interesting. I hope you have the career that you desire and much success. We made it and I am proud of us all. Good luck!!!
