About Myself


My name is Robin Miller. I currently hold a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Early Childhood
Education. I am presently attending Walden University for my Masters of Science Degree in Early
Childhood Studies specializing in Administration, Leadership, and Management. I love working with
children and have been in this field as a professional for 5 years but, have been working with children for a little over 10 years. Presently, I am a Head Teacher at a child care facility in Philadelphia teaching at the pre-kindergarten level. I have been at the same site for 5 years and plan on moving forward with my career in more of an administrative way. I look forward to learning new ways to improve my teaching abilities to help our children learn and grow.

I believe that the early years are critical years and are the most crucial in instilling values and
beliefs into our young children's minds. Working together with parents and families will help in this
very important process. Yes, children are with their school family for the majority of the day but,
parents are their child's first teacher and with the collaboration of parents and teachers there is know telling what a child can learn. Working together will ensure that each child is being taught in and out of school which in turn can help with the child's growth and development. When people work together to achieve one goal, the goal seems much more attainable. I believe that all of our childrenare capable of reaching their dreams. It is up to us as educators to involve parents more to help be a part of that process.

  1. Hi Robin,
    I am a big one on parental involvement. First, I loved having parents help in the classroom because then they were getting a bird's eye view of what goes on all day. Second, I also love to involve parents who cannot be in the classroom and I do this through take-home activities that they can help me create at home and then send them back in for us to use. Parents are a valuable resource and I am so glad that you feel the same way about that!

  2. Robin,

    Yes... you successfully posted your Blog to the Blog Assignment Board! Congratulations!

    Your self-reflection is an important discussion of your professional beliefs and the responsibility of the educator to teach to the "whole child."
