Valentina is an early childhood teacher with a passion for educating young children. Her experience at Kinder International School Bologna has given her not only the opportunity to grow professionally, but also to experience the importance of teamwork in an educational environment. In this interview, Valentina shares her thoughts on what inspired her, the moments that marked her, and her dreams for the future of the school.
A collaborative environment as a source of inspiration
For Valentina, the decision to pursue a career as an early childhood teacher was strongly influenced by the work environment she found herself in. From the beginning, she was inspired by the cohesion and collaboration between colleagues, fundamental elements that nourished her love for teaching. Working in a context where unity and mutual support are at the heart of educational action has represented for her an inexhaustible source of motivation and satisfaction.
Transformation through the Kinder International School Bologna experience
Even though Valentina cannot pinpoint a single moment that changed her path, working at Kinder International School Bologna has certainly had a significant impact on her way of conceiving teamwork. Here she has learned to see the value of the contribution of each member of the group, discovering how enriching it can be to work together towards a common goal. Collaboration is not just a working method, but a philosophy that has transformed her approach to education, making it even more effective and rewarding.
The joy of seeing children grow
The most rewarding part of Valentina’s work is undoubtedly the opportunity to observe the growth and development of children. Every day, seeing the happiness in their eyes and the small progress they make, motivates her to always give the best of herself. Even in moments of difficulty, the satisfaction of being part of this growth process gives her the strength to continue with enthusiasm. For Valentina, every smile and every achievement of her little students represents a confirmation of the value of her commitment.
Dreaming Big: A Future of Expansion
When it comes to dreams for the future of the school, Valentina does not hide her enthusiasm for what Kinder Haus already represents: the school of her dreams. However, dreaming big is always possible. She imagines an even bigger school, capable of welcoming an increasing number of children and offering them even more opportunities for learning and development. This dream reflects her desire to see the school grow and prosper, always keeping the attention and care for each individual child at the centre of her work.
A Message of Collaboration and Trust
Valentina hopes that the message that members of the school community will take away from her contribution is the importance of collaboration and trust. For her, these two qualities are essential not only for professional success, but also for creating a positive and welcoming environment in which everyone, from colleagues to students, can thrive. She firmly believes that teamwork based on mutual trust is the key to achieving common goals and to ensuring an enriching and successful educational experience for everyone.
