Advice from the ELC Director
So, you’re thinking about joining the United Community’s Early Learning Center team? We are really happy to have you, and we are looking forward to the possibility of working with you! Before you step into the world of Early Learning, I have a few pointers for you:
Keep your sense of humor close by
Teaching is a serious job; there’s probably nothing more important. But it’s also a fun job! You want to never lose sight of the joy of being with young children. When a child does something humorous, share their happiness. Laughing over silly rhymes makes phonemic awareness both more fun and impressionable.
Be Patient
It takes time to settle into a new program or school. Allow yourself time to adjust to your surroundings and your peers, children, and parents you will come to interact with on a daily basis.
Reflect
Engaging in self-reflection always leads to improvement. After you try something, ask yourself, “What worked about this? What didn’t? Why? What could I do differently?” Don’t worry if something doesn’t initially work the way you had planned. Learning by doing is very effective, and when you reflect, you allow yourself the opportunity to improve.
Be Yourself
Just as every child has his/her own personality, so do educators. As you become familiar with how each child learns and experiments, let each child become familiar with you. Let them know who you are as well. Opportunities to build positive relationships will benefit children socially and emotionally. Serve as a model for the relationships you’d like them to build with each other.
United Community’s ELC is continuously growing in achieving its highest level of quality. We need competitive and motivated people! Your ideas and input matter in helping to maintain and enhance our AWESOME program. On behalf of the ELC administrative team, children, families, and teaching teams, we look forward to meeting you!
To join our team, we are looking for a person who can accomplish great things and make a positive impact on the lives of children and families. Are you that person? If so, apply now – we can’t wait to meet you.
