What I enjoy about working with young children

I enjoy experiencing the wonder and amazement while viewing the world through the children's eyes.

How would I describe my role, in a nutshell

As an EYO I’m there to support the children to develop their learning following their current interests, using current legislation and policies for support.

When and how MY PRACTICE is most child-centred

Everyday. Following the children's lead on what they would like to investigate and discover.

The ways and extent to which my setting's ENVIRONMENT, MATERIALS and PROCEDURES are child-centred

Our environment is easily accessed by the children and they are able to take lead on their learning. Most materials are available for them to access as they wish, with only some such as slime/play dough ingredients needing adult support.
Our procedures are aimed to be child centered and we we follow these for guidance.

How children PARTICIPATE in shaping the environment, structures, rhythms and policies of my setting - or my own day-to-day role

Children shape my day to day role by following their lead. They support to change and shape the environment, as we change it to suit their learning interests and following their learning,

How Froebel/Froebelian thinking informs or inspires my practice today (if at all)

I believe Froebel has aligned with my thinking and passion for the outdoor play and the discovery of nature through the children's eyes. I would like to take forward relationships within the community based on his inspiration.

How an awareness of social justice impacts on my practice

Each day I work to ensure equity and equality, supported by GIRFEC, ensuring every child is treated as an individual and their learning is theirs.

What I hope to learn or strengthen in my practice going forward from today

A deeper understanding for froebelian practice, allowing me to support the children further with their learning.
As well as to support my colleagues and work with them to improve my settings froebelian journey.

What support I most value or need to do my job well - in a Froebelian spirit

Collaboration and learning between colleagues within the setting and further afield.
