Artifacts:

1.   Family Support Plan

2.   Family Interview

Course: Partnership with families

The following artifacts demonstrate my ability to work with children as well as with their families about their child’s development. So, from these two artifacts, I learned how I can support a child who is suffering from any disorder or disability and what can be a good way to have an interview with a family member. For a family support plan, I and my partner searched a lot with the help of a case study and found various ways to support the child, and it allowed me to learn more. Other than that, getting an interview from a family member about their child allows me to plan the curriculum accordingly and provides me with an opportunity to learn about the child’s development.

Pedagogical Documentation Assignment_ Harshpreet Kaur and Karanbir Kaur (2)

# data[].attributes.body
My name is Harshpreet Kaur. I started my study at Fanshawe College with the Early Childhood Education program in September 2023. I feel so grateful to get this course and get an opportunity to work with children. The following portfolio documents show my one-year experience in Early Childhood Education. With a passion for nurturing young minds and guiding them on the right path, I dedicated myself to engaging children in a hands-on learning play, a creative, safe, and inclusive learning environment. With the help of theoretical knowledge, I came to study the different aspects of different stages of life. Moreover, I learned about children’s different behaviours, mindsets, creativity, imagination levels, and regulation skills, which helped me a lot when I did my placements or worked as an ECA. The experience I got from my placement helped me to learn about how to engage with children, how to become an active listener, and how to plan a curriculum based on children’s interests. Adding to this, I learned about professionalism as well. I believe that children engage in an environment where they feel safe, secure, and valued. By observing each child at my placements, I plan to promote each child’s cognitive, social, emotional, and physical growth by planning a curriculum based on creativity and hands-on learning.

I hope you will find my work interesting and informative.

Harshpreet Kaur
