杰出婴幼儿保育师奖 柯老师实至名归

Описание: 在新加坡2019年幼儿培育署的颁奖礼上，大爱幼教中心育婴师柯秀媛获得杰出婴幼儿保育师奖项。柯老师在幼教中心任教五年多，对这份职业热诚不减，把每个婴儿当成自己孩子细心照顾，擅长用环保物制作玩具和设计活动给小朋友，旨在推动和辅助孩子的身心发展，寓教于乐。虽然工作繁琐，也很劳累，但是孩子们稚气、纯真的笑容，是她前进的动力。

在2至18个月孩子的世界里，对每件事物都新鲜好奇，大爱幼教中心的育婴师们除了照顾孩子、设计活动，她们还亲手制作教材，其中柯老师，是创意来源。

大爱幼教中心育婴师 柯秀媛 ：会坐、会爬、会站，然后开始学走这几个阶段都要设计不同的活动给他们，然后让他们去加强他们的肢体这些的发展。

柯老师同事 洪雅娇：有一些（教具）就是柯老师她设计的，一些触摸啊，然后那个水里面有花的，这个是她的点子，这个点子很好，小朋友也很喜欢去摸这些东西。

柯秀媛在幼教中心服务超过5年了，每天面对这群还不会说话，只能用情绪表达心意的小宝宝，她，自有妙招。

大爱幼教中心育婴师 柯秀媛：他们哭闹是有理由的，以一份尊重他们的心、尊重他们的需求，了解他们需要什么才去做。好像有时候用儿歌，有时候用声音，把他们的注意力吸引到我这边来，他们就会把烦躁的情绪给忘记掉。

柯老师在忙碌中，也不忘細心观察孩子的成长，让家长不错过孩子的第一次。

家长 李婷婷：因为在学校，有时他可能第一次（翻身）的话是在学校，所以老师都会跟我们讲，都会录视频给我们。

家长 许翠琴：柯老师真的是很细心，很有爱心，真的是把每一个孩子都当着她的孩子来看待。

大爱幼教中心园长 许毓宝：（柯老师是个很乐观的人，即使辛苦工作了一天，她依然保持正向和笑容满面。）

大爱幼教中心育婴师 柯秀媛：其实讲不累是假的，真的会累，可是你回想到跟他们的那一份笑容，精神动力又出来了。看着孩子能够开开心心、健健康康这样，18个月从我们这里出去，我就觉得很满足了。

柯老師的付出得到肯定，在2019年幼儿培育署的颁奖礼上获得杰出婴幼儿保育师奖，这奖项将会让她的教育路，走得更踏实。

At the awards ceremony of the ECDA Awards for Excellence in Early Childhood Development (2019), Tzu Chi Great Love PreSchool’s infant educarer, Ke Xiu Yuan, received the Outstanding Early Childhood Educarer Award. Ke has served in the PreSchool for over 5 years. Her growing passion for infant care spurs her to treat and care for every child as her own. She makes creative and educational toys for the kids using recyclables, to help them in their physical and emotional development. Although her work is tiring, the innocent and cute smiles of the babies and toddlers under her care keep her going each day!

Young children aged between 2 to 18 months are often curious about their surroundings. Besides looking after children and designing activities for them, the infant care teachers at the Great Love PreSchool also make teaching aids. Among them is Teacher Ke.

Ke Xiu Yuan, Infant care teacher: As they learn to sit, crawl, stand and walk, we need to design different activities for each of their developmental stages to enhance their physical development.

Tracia Ang, colleague of Ke Xiu Yuan：Some of the toys are designed by Teacher Ke. The kids can touch them. The water bag filled with flowers is her idea. It is a very good idea. The little ones really love to touch the toy.

Ke Xiu Yuan has served in the PreSchool for over 5 years. She has a way of handling this group of very young children who cannot yet talk and who use emotions to express themselves.

Ke Xiu Yuan, Infant care teacher: There is a reason as to why they cry. We must treat them with a respectful heart and respect their needs. We need to understand their needs first, before handling them. For example, sometimes I would recite a nursery rhyme or use my voice to attract them to come to me. And they would forget about their vexations.

Amid her busy work, she does not forget to observe the details of the children’s development.

Linda Lee, parent：At the PreSchool, when a child flips over the first time, Teacher Ke will tell us about it and take a video clip to show us.

Khor Chooi Kim, parent：Teacher Ke is very meticulous and loving. She really treats every child like her own.

Audrey Koh, Principal of the PreSchool ：Teacher Ke is a very optimistic person. Even when her hair is all messy and you know she has had a really hard day, she is still smiling and positive.

It’s not true if I say I don’t feel tired. I’ll really get tired. But whenever I think of their smiles, it will give me strength and make me feel motivated again. When I see how happy and healthy the kids are, and see that they leave the infant care section when they reach 18 months, I will feel very happy and content.

Teacher Ke’s efforts have been recognised. She has received the Outstanding Early Childhood Educarer Award at the ECDA Awards ceremony, which further motivates her to stay steadfast on the path of education.
