An early childcare educator specialises in the academic, developmental, emotional, social, and physical needs of children under the age of 6. Early childhood educators interact with children during some of the most formative years of their lives. They teach them valuable communication and collaboration skills by guiding interactions with their peers. Children also become stronger in their emotional connections and begin to develop interests that can stay with them throughout their lives under the guidance of early childhood educators.
Building blocks of learning
As the adage goes, reading, writing, and arithmetic are the building blocks of a solid education. However, there’s one more crucial component in building a strong learning foundation: qualified, compassionate and caring early childhood educators. Research supports the notion that early experiences can affect brain development. High-quality early childhood learning impacts children’s development.
Our Inspired educator beliefs
- Number 1 priority for our Inspired educators is that all educators love caring, supporting and guiding the education for young children.
- Our educators demonstrate compassion, children need love and nurturing from adults to support healthy growth and development. We believe our educators are genuine in their interactions to support and gain children’s trust and respect.
- Inspired, creative and flexible, we believe our Inspired environment supports children to explore a play-based curriculum, our educators are empowered with skills to encourage children to explore crafts, educational games, physical activity, story telling, music and movement and so much more! Additionally, flexibility is important when working with children this age. Early childcare educators must formulate plans but be prepared to pivot when necessary to support the learning needs of our children.
- Patient and kind, children under the age of 5 can be curious — an attribute that makes them eager learners. However, that curiosity can cause little ones to be impulsive and reactive. Practising patience and kindness is a must-have skill for early childcare educators. Understanding that children do not always behave appropriately is part of being patient and kind. The best early childcare educators know it’s their responsibility to offer guidance to young learners and eagerly meet the challenge.
- Organised and structured, young children thrive on routine. They need to know what to expect next to flourish and grow. Organised and structured early childcare educators lead well-run classrooms and can handle any situation that arises.
