"My name is Sofia Moreno, I was born in Venezuela, a South American country and I moved to England in September 2020 and have since made my home in Stamford, where I have been working locally in a nursery.
Though I am fairly new to the teaching profession, working in a nursery has made me learn in depth about how to work around the EYFS curriculum and about the importance of safeguarding the children.
I spent four years preparing for my career since I have always had a desire to enable children to learn and develop through the creation of activities and the planning of lessons that are adapted to their knowledge and interests. My degree in early years education was awarded by the University of Alicante, Spain, where I studied Preschool Education with a major in English as Foreign Language.
I also gained valuable experience working as a classroom assistant while doing the internships required by my course. I was responsible for preparing teaching material and planning engaging activities for the children in the class. Further, I assisted the class teacher during the lessons, and supported the youngsters who were struggling to keep up with the rest of the class. "
