Scenario: As the new director of a recently opened early childhood center, you are in charge of presenting a 30-minute presentation to prospective families who are seeking care for their infants and/or toddlers. To ensure that all required material is covered, you must create a presentation that addresses each of the areas described below. You will need to design each slide to be clear, concise, and aesthetically pleasing.
Introduction to the Center
Provide your personal introduction that includes your preferred teaching style and a detailed overview of your experience as an educator (if you have not worked with children, you have most likely been an educator with your own children, family members, co-workers, church members, etc.).
Describe the Program's Philosophy- Consider how the course content informed your program's philosophy on how children learn and grow (this is not the same as your personal philosophy but will overlap). Please describe your program's philosophy, which should be supported by the theoretical perspective that aligns most with your personal view as well as your experience and knowledge you have acquired in this course.
