Firsts Abound

Nursery school is a place of first encounters and experiences

Meeting unfamiliar adults is what childcare workers do

 

The young children, who don't even understand what it means to trust

Are left in the care of others, body and soul surrendered

Mothers who painfully let go

Feel anxious entrusting their child

 

Childcare workers involved in the firsts of young children

They need a human touch to face each and every one

Living in a world of childcare disconnected from society

Their childcare skills and social skills are put to the test

Childcare workers who pour out plenty of love

Their sensitivity and emotional richness are questioned

 

Sharing the joy of watching children grow

Are they stuck in a routine of teaching and caregiving?

Are they being honest about their own immaturity in front of the young children?

Are they pretending to know it all and hiding behind their experience?

Are they conveying fresh excitement to the children's sensibilities?

Is their observing and listening becoming dull, losing the power of words?

Are they finding value in the unexperienced aspects of young children?

Are they assessing quickly and decisively the complaints and demands?

Are they aware of the absolute influence they have on young children?

Do they have the humility and pride in nurturing the foundation of humanity?

Are they cherishing the lives and hearts of the young children?

Do they still hold dear the precious work and sense of duty with love and passion?

Are they adapting to the changes in the growth of young children?

Are they striving to provide appropriate care and improvement based on developmental stages?

Are they checking their attitude towards the young children?

Are they aware that pursuing the ideal human existence is their own life?

 

The way of life as a human being that young children first encounter is questioned

The educational power of play that young children first experience is questioned

The sensitivity to the words spoken by young children for the first time is questioned

The social skills that young children are first disciplined in are questioned

Young children cannot choose their childcare workers, but they can evaluate them

Now, what kind of presence can a childcare worker become for young children?
