My dream job is teaching early childhood education and opening my own daycare center. I have always had a desire to teach children and help them develop their own ability to gain knowledge. I enjoy the sense of accomplishment that comes with watching children grow and learn. My desire is to help each child develop the ability to think and process information in a unique and effective way. The ability to draw your own conclusions from new information is priceless and my dream job is to help children develop that for themselves. I believe children are an invaluable resource and should be allowed to grow to their full potential. Even as a young child I enjoyed helping others learn things that would help them. I get pleasure from being able to see the faces of people when information transforms into knowledge. Knowing that it was possible because of something I have done is very rewarding. Young children need help to learn the information they need. They are not able to draw out what is relevant to them without help from educators, parents and friends. I get great satisfaction from being these things to the children that need them. Every child learns in different ways and I enjoy providing them with the means to develop their learning style by whatever means possible. I hope to be able to open a small daycare center and teach preschool children. I would like to be the owner and operator of this center and determine the curriculum that will challenge the children and provide them with something new every day. Learning to read and write is just part of this. Things like respect for others and responsibility for your actions are staple concepts for a successful student and I feel that using these concepts with children helps them learn to use them on their own. I would love to teach these children and help them prepare for the education system they will enter when they are older. The more prepared a child is when they are young, the more likely it is they will do better in that system. I hope to instill in these children a love of learning so they will be more likely to continue learning throughout their lives. Young children benefit from a fun, scheduled learning environment and I believe it is my duty to provide that. A balanced schedule of play and learning will help each child reach full potential. The schedule would be determined by the needs and abilities of each child. My goal in this center would be to develop an environment that is educationally, physically and emotionally sound. Opening this center is my dream. It would enable me to do work that suits me perfectly while providing the children enrolled with the best start possible to their education. While I know it would be a lot of work, I know that no good thing comes without putting forth effort and I am willing to do that.
