”Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world,” said Nelson Mandela. As a kindergarten teacher, you play a crucial role in the lives of children and must learn to educate each child the way he or she needs to be educated. For this reason, you will study humanistic subjects to understand each child as a unique being and to help the families who pass through your school
For me, studying Early Childhood and Primary Education at the UFV has been above all a personal growth, which today I am very grateful for in order to be able to practice my profession. At the UFV many contents are studied, but what I value most is that almost invisible csyllabus in which you are allowed to discover yourself in order to discover others, in this case my students. Learning that the focus must always be placed on the human and on the self, which after all is the basis for being well and being able to learn anything. The personal and professional example of the professors I have had during my university degree. They continue to be references to this day, both professionally and personally, and the truth is that many times I think: “how would this professor act or how would this other one manage this conflict…” and in this way, I still feel that I still belong to this great family that is the UFV.
