I chose this image for my philosophy statement because it reminds me of how much children want to do, know, explore and experience. I was one of those kids, but unfortunately, I did not have the support to do many of the things I wanted to do and explore. I felt frustrated, deprived and held back. I have made it my goal to make a difference in every child that comes to my day care. Children are our future leaders, and as an educator, it is my responsibility to assist them in every possible and best way that I can.
