My experience in the field

My experience in the education field has been a beautiful challenge. There are a lot of factors involved in the development of the tasks and it’s required to be willing to solve any problem and improve any disadvantaged situation. As requisite of my studies at the university, I had to fulfill with 10 practices in schools, in different levels and social realities. I used to work with children aged 2-4 years, which means to develop many strategies to promote enthusiasm and creativity.

Currently I’m working in a kindergarten in Ñuñoa, Santiago. The group is composed of 8 children, all of them kindly, lovely and enthusiastic which makes my work absolutely motivating and interesting.

  About problems, I can tell that my work in the institution was very complicated, because working with kids always brings problems related with the planning and the implementation. For example, the kids got late to classes because they lived so far from the school.

 Many things I’ve liked, some of them is that I’ve been lucky to have the cooperation of 2 assistants- Raquel and Ely- during my current work. These persons are always taking care of children and offering advice and help in any task.  Also, the kindergarten is a very nice and friendly place.  The importance of the environment is always a topic in the classes. The children are usually invited to enjoy the nature and talk about it. I feel totally happy in this place.

As a result, the children are more sensitive and feel like participate in the activities planned. 

The kindergarten have artistic projects and they are really interested in the comprehensive development of every child.

What could be some disappointed, is that sometimes the resources are not available to perform all the projects designed for the different levels.  It is frustrating to stop the advances because of the lack of economic resources.
