How to Become a Kindergarten Teacher

[Noor E Alam]

A kindergarten teacher sets the foundation for the rest of a child's education. As this kind of teacher, you work with one group of students, five days a week, and guide them through one of their most formative years. Teaching five and six year-olds everyday requires a love for children and a dedication to imbuing each kid, across a wide spectrum of skill levels and personalities, with the essential skills of socializing, discipline, and basic learning. If you have a knack for interacting with little kids and care a great deal about their well being, teaching kindergarten could be your ideal career.
