I wrote this a couple years ago in response to teachers working with children birth to five expressing to me their desire to be so seen as so much more than just a "day care worker". I know the pain when someone tells you that you are not a real teacher. This is for all of the hard, dedicated professionals who work with young children. You are "So Much More"!
What I do is important.
the purpose of my activities.
of everything I do – because I am that good!
Yes – I embrace everything PLAY promotes!
You are probably wondering what I am doing while the children are playing.
We must develop the whole child!
You may call me teacher.
You may call me early childhood educator.
You may call me early learning specialist.
You may call me child development guru – because I am that good.
Because I am so much more!
THE PROFESSIONAL THAT I AM.
