I started my study of Early Childhood Education when I was babysitting for my sister and my first niece and nephew. I am now an Education specialist when I completed my doctorate degree. I worked in a day care and I was mainly in the infant and toddler rooms. I loved it and I too enjoyed reading to my niece and nephew and to the young children I cared for then. Currently I write reviews of children’s literature as well as writing lectures for the Education World magazine. Thank you for reading my word poem.
Thanks for sharing this!
I learned to read stories to the children everyday when I have my first kid. It’s so important and children like it very much. Active listening is important too.
I thought of studying early childhood education, but I didn’t really go for it. I started to learn more about it when I have my own children.
