About me

My name is Prizma Gurung, and I have lived in Australia for over two years. Nepal, where I'm from, is a beautiful and culturally varied nation. My respect for children, families, and communities has only grown since moving to Australia, and this is where my early childhood education adventure starts. After graduating with diploma in early childhood education and care, I am currently working for a bachelor's degree in early childhood education at the Ikon Institute of Australia as part of my continuous professional development. I believe every child is a capable, inquisitive, and self-assured learner who deserves to develop and flourish in a setting that is secure, caring, and welcoming, in my opinion. As a teacher, I believe that every child is different, having their own cultural identities, hobbies, and strengths. Since families are a child's first and most significant instructors, I work hard to establish strong, respectful ties with them.

The EYLF's three guiding principles Belonging, Being, and Becoming, correspond with my core beliefs. Children are safe and confident to explore, learn, and express themselves when they feel like they belong, in my opinion. In a kind and inviting setting, I want children to feel free to play, ask questions, take chances, and form emotional and social bonds with others. My teaching approach is centred on play-based learning. Playing in my opinion, helps children make decisions, solve problems, form relationships, and express themselves while also enabling them to learn about the world in meaningful ways. My goal is to encourage each child's growth in all areas: physical, social, emotional, cognitive, and language through purposeful instruction and attentive listening.

I appreciate the significance of cultural diversity, equity, and inclusion because I'm from Nepal and now reside in a multicultural nation like Australia. I'm dedicated to establishing a learning environment where children of all backgrounds and skill levels feel appreciated, seen, and cherished. From an early age, I think it's important to teach children to value diversity, demonstrate empathy, and cultivate a sense of justice and social responsibility.

I am dedicated to continual introspection and career development as a lifelong learner. I've learnt from my experiences in Nepal and Australia that having a growth mindset that is receptive to learning, listening, and adapting is essential for educators.

I think that early childhood education has a significant impact on how people develop in the future, and I'm honoured to be a part of the process by assisting children in becoming self-assured, competent, and kind human beings.
