    Age Groups Depending on Your Personality

    What kind of personality do you think works the best for each age group? I know all ECE's have to have some sort of common ground but the staff always have different personalities.
    Who do you thinks works best with:
    Infants
    Toddlers
    Preschool
    Kindergarten
    School-Age
    ?
    I have a general idea of what kinds of people would work best but my boss seems to think I'd work the best with Junior Preschool when I think I'd work the best in the toddler room as I'm more quiet. We only have one teacher per room for the ratio according to age.

    I think a lot has to do with what kinds of things you as the teacher likes to do - if you love to cuddle the kids, and care for basic needs then you are best suited to the infant room working one on one with each child. If you thrive on creating fun learning centre experiences and trying out creative art then you need to work with older children that can appreciate those same experiences. What I like about the toddlers is that they are at a crossroads developmentally and what I do for them and with them can totally change who they become in the future. They are filled with wonder about things we take for granted.
