Hello! My name is Bernadeth Solania but you can call me Miss Berns. I grew up in Antipolo a city in the east of Manila known as the Pilgrimage Capital of the Philippines and went to ICCT Colleges in the year 2016 where I obtained Bachelor Degree in Elementary Education major in Early Childhood Education and in the year 2019 I passed the Licensure Examination for Teachers. Although I did not have the opportunity to pursue teaching career for some reason but I worked as an Executive Assistant at the Department of Education in the Philippines for more than 3 years. I firmly believe that this delay gave me time to reflect and embrace my passion for teaching. I joined HeadStart this April of 2023 as a Deputy Teacher in Bridging School with a combined class of Early Years and Reception. I had a wonderful experience during this term, it given me the opportunity to learn various styles and strategies to better understand and help each learner. This year I will be joining the Preschool and I am really looking forward to collect new learnings and exciting experiences with the young learners and the whole team of Foundation stage. I am very grateful to be part of the HeadStart teaching team as I will start a new phase full of knowledge and wisdom. I am very passionate to teach and help young learners to bring out their natural talent and creativeness. I also believe that learning should be fun! If the experience is fun learners will stay curious and keep coming back for more. As a Deputy Teacher it is my responsibility to help learners see the joy in learning and to keep them engaged and motivated as well. I can’t wait to see all adorable faces of preschoolers whom I will be with throughout this academic year and I’m extremely excited to meet them to do lots of fun and good memories. Looking forward to a brilliant year ahead!
