Hey there, My name is Sophia and I am currently a student at Douglas College in the Early Childhood Education program . I have a deep interest in working with children because I have grown a fascination with child development through out my experiences of volunteering at the B.A.S.E.S program. I strongly believe that we, as adults, can learn many things from children if we truly give them the attention that they thrive in. Unfortunately, we often do not notice the competency of children, and overlook their abilities which can lead to many contributions made by them in our society today. I hope to guide and care for children in a manner which will open their minds to abstract and innovative ways of thinking. Giving the answers to a child does not truly teach them what they need to know. However, inviting them to make explorations of their own will inspire them to learn joyously and build meaningful relationships with their peers and environment. I not only want to be a person who cares for children, but I want to give them opportunities to fully express themselves through various means, and to make rich and meaningful relationships.
