Children grow and learn in individual ways. Jaruszewicz (2013) explains that a good curriculum is based off of each child and is “flexible”. Although a curriculum is based around a specific age, each child is different and may need a specific technique or developmental stage that is highlighted within the curriculum.
As an early childhood educator playing a big role in children’s lives and how they see the world around them. Guiding children to learn through something they enjoy is important because they will take the time to do it.
Feeling safe is a big part to learning for children. Having a secure environment can encourage children to develop love, respect of others and themselves, and to feel emotion towards an environment. Having a positive classroom and creating a positive self-image for children can mold them to see the world in a positive way and see reason for things.
Teaching gives the chance to see how we learn as adults as well. A curriculum is based on ideas of the teacher and is molded into a teaching method for children.
