Inioluwa Lomuwagun Digital Portfolio

My name is Inioluwa Lomuwagun, and I am currently pursuing a diploma in Early Childhood Education at Humber College. My hands-on experience includes volunteering at the Chalk Farm Community Centre, where I cared for toddlers, as well as working with the YMCA and serving as a summer camp counsellor at Belka Summer Camp. My journey into early childhood education began long before I entered a classroom. Growing up, I was naturally drawn to younger cousins, nieces, nephews, and family friends’ children. At the time, I didn’t fully understand the significance of those experiences, but I now recognize how their trust, curiosity, and openness shaped my worldview. Being around children taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of being present.

I love working with children because it allows me to see the world through their eyes—their wonder, excitement, and endless questions. They bring joy, positivity, laughter, and imagination into every space they occupy. Over time, I realized that working with children is more than a responsibility; it is an opportunity to nurture confidence, identity, and belonging. For me, early childhood education is about contributing to something greater than myself—helping young children feel seen, valued, and understood in environments designed for growth. My passion for early learning deepened when I recognized how transformative the early years are and how caring, dedicated adults can profoundly shape the course of a child’s life.
