1BACHELOR OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION AND CAREChildren I believe that the child’s behaviour and future learning is influence by the interaction andlearning a child receives at a young age. Thus, my personal philosophy is based on therelationships, respect and responsibility. In my vision, children should be nurtured to develop theskills for “lifelong learning”. According to Bowlby’s attachment theory a child’s socialdevelopment is dependent on their needs of forming attachments (Clifford, 2017). Children’sdevelopment is supported with responsive relationships. I believe in concept of natural play asplayful experiences lead to development of learning dispositions. I believe children learn anddevelop through hands on experience as well as relationship with the peers, caregivers, parentsand culture. This aligns with socio-cultural theory by Lev Vygotsky (Swain, Kinnear &Steinman, 2015). The planning will be informed by the “The Early Years Learning Framework”.In addition, the experiences of children, their interests and voces will be considered for planning.It involves the idea of scaffolding to support children by building on their theories to deepentheir thinking. Documentations will thus allow for the provocations and dialogue. I believe thatchildren have different competencies and talents. Each child has a unique strength. Each childdemonstrates his or her learning in different way. The strength based assessment will helpidentify what works well for the child (Sointu et al., 2014). Profession, Professionals and staff Educators must be knowledgeable enough to use evidence or researched information onchild development for their approach towards teaching. The educators must develop securereciprocal and trusting relationships with children. According to the Bowlby’s attachmenttheory, this process will help a child develop secure attachment style (Clifford, 2017). To

This is also based on the socio-cultural theoryby Lev Vygotsky (Swain, Kinnear & Steinman, 2015). The processes used for planning,documenting and assessing will be regularly reviewed to ensure that the teaching and learning iseffective. According to Schulz (2015) planning and documentation should be purposeful,deliberate and thoughtful. It can be ensured by the educators and staff who may be involved indocumentation from various sources such as learning stories, observations, and portfolos.Therefore, it will be ensured that the daily practices will embed the analysis, interpretation andobservation of the children’s learning. According to Sointu et al., (2014) strength basedassessment are effective way for extended learning and making decisions related to thecurriculum. Therefore, in my opinion strength based assessment would be effective to use in theform of learning stories to inform the future curriculum. Families I believe children thrive in dependable and nurturing relationships having love,responsive interaction, safety and opportunity to explore. This is possible only at homeenvironment with family. The planning cycle will comprise of discussion with educators andtaking families opinion about the context of learning in each term. Planning and documentationis an integral part of the early childhood education as it offers the tool for continuous refection(Jackman et al., 2014). I believe that knowledge of family values, communication stylesinfluence the sharing of information. It will better help engage educators to meet the needs ofnew and existing families. The feedback and conversation with parents will be documented whilegiving families the real time and opportunities to visit the classroom any time. Partnership with
