Childcare Educator

Small Friends Childcare & Education Pearl Street
Melbourne/ Glenroy, Victoria

As a Childcare Educator with over 20 months of part-time experience, I have played a crucial role in nurturing and educating young children in a supportive and engaging environment. My primary responsibilities included planning and implementing age-appropriate learning activities that promoted children's cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. I was dedicated to creating a safe and inclusive atmosphere where every child felt valued and supported. This involved tailoring activities to meet individual needs and ensuring that children with diverse abilities and backgrounds were fully included.

I built strong, positive relationships with children, families, and colleagues, regularly communicating with parents to discuss their child's progress and collaborate on strategies for continued development both at home and in the center. In addition to my hands-on work with the children, I meticulously documented each child's learning journey through observations, learning stories, and developmental assessments, which informed my planning and provided valuable insights to families.

Working collaboratively with my fellow educators, I contributed to refining educational programs and participated in ongoing professional development to enhance my skills and knowledge. My multilingual abilities in English, Urdu, Hindi, and Punjabi enabled me to effectively communicate with children and families from diverse linguistic backgrounds, fostering an inclusive and supportive learning environment.
