Early Childhood Teacher

Also known as Child Care Professionals, Pre-School Teachers, or Kindergarten Teachers, Early Childhood Teachers work with preschool-aged children in a variety of different situations. Child Care Professionals typically instruct these children in activities designed to promote their growth – socially, physically, and intellectually. They must establish and enforce rules for behaviour, organise and lead activities, teach basic skills, read books to the class or group, and observe and evaluate the behaviour, performance and development of the children.To perform effectively, Early Childhood Teachers must have solid communication and critical thinking skills coupled with excellent interpersonal sensitivity and self-insight. They must be capable of following rules and guidelines and should be attentive to detail. Early Childhood Teachers must be capable of working well with others, staying calm under pressure, and adapting to change.
