“With over two years of experience in the childcare industry, I have found my true passion in nurturing and educating young minds. During this time, I have successfully completed my Certificate III and Diploma while working alongside my dedicated team at Leaps & Bounds Preschool. This journey has been incredibly inspiring and has only deepened my commitment to this field. One of the core philosophies that resonates with me is the approach of Lev Vygotsky. I firmly believe that social interaction is a crucial vehicle for child development across linguistic, social, and cognitive domains. Children learn best when they engage with someone more capable, whether it be teachers or parents. By fostering positive and meaningful relationships between educators and parents, we can help children reach their full potential. As a Malaysian, I bring a rich cultural background to my role, incorporating diverse cultural perspectives into curriculum planning. I strive to help each child appreciate and embrace their own cultural heritage. To me, being a good educator means treating each child as if they were my own, ensuring they feel trusted and supported. I aim to be a reliable figure in their lives, akin to a second parent, fostering a safe and nurturing environment for their growth.”
