Preschool educators hold a special place in society; if there are indeed angels on earth, they certainly manifest as preschool teachers. The recent pandemic has highlighted the irreplaceable role that dedicated teachers play in our children’s lives—they are true heroes. Their creativity, commitment, and ability to keep our little ones engaged in learning during such challenging times is miraculous. It’s high time we show them the respect they deserve, along with a significant pay increase.
For my two children, their admiration for educators began at an early age, thanks to the exceptional preschool programs they attended. Both boys had the privilege of being nurtured by passionate, caring, and skilled preschool teachers. I firmly believe that no one has been more influential in igniting their love for learning than their preschool educators.
The Role of Preschool Teachers
Preschool teachers do so much more than merely supervise; they play a vital role in the emotional and academic development of young children. While caregivers at daycare centers provide essential love and support, preschool teachers are tasked with preparing children for future schooling. In public preschools, educators must submit lesson plans and provide progress reports, adhering to state educational standards, all while managing a classroom of diverse learners.
The background knowledge of children entering preschool can vary significantly. In one class, you might find a child who can read simple words alongside another who hasn’t yet recognized letters. The responsibility of preschool teachers is to meet the unique educational and emotional needs of each child in their care, ensuring that no one falls behind as they prepare for kindergarten—a challenging yet rewarding endeavor.
Emotional and Social Development
Teaching preschoolers goes beyond the basics of reading and math. Children aged four and five are in a transitional phase, still holding onto their babyhood while beginning to explore their independence. They may be away from their parents for the first time and occasionally have accidents. Preschool teachers are expected to address the complex emotional needs of these young learners while also readying them for “big school.” Each day, children may arrive in tears when separated from their parents, yet they leave with smiles, proudly sharing what they learned throughout the day.
For instance, my son has an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) and is the only child in his class with specific learning needs. Despite his advanced academic skills, preschool was essential for his social development. His teacher, Ms. Taylor, has been instrumental in helping him thrive. She keeps me informed about his social progress without sugar-coating challenges, allowing us to celebrate his achievements and address any difficulties.
The classroom aide has also been a blessing, fostering a bond with my son that has made his preschool experience enjoyable. Just last week, Ms. Taylor sent me a heartwarming photo of him interacting with his classmates. He is learning invaluable skills like ordering lunch, waiting in line, and asking peers to play, all thanks to the guidance of his teacher and aide. This nurturing environment has set the stage for his continued success as he transitions to kindergarten.
The Lasting Impact of Preschool Education
My older son, who is neurotypical, also benefitted immensely from preschool. Initially anxious about leaving me, he found excitement in attending school. I chose a private program for him, where his teacher recognized his strengths and facilitated friendships that would help him grow. To this day, she remains a cherished friend, exemplifying the lasting impact a great preschool teacher can have.
Whether a child is neurotypical or neurodivergent, the influence of an excellent preschool teacher is invaluable. I’m eager for my youngest to experience the same nurturing environment. Unfortunately, these dedicated professionals often don’t receive the recognition they deserve. Preschool teachers are the foundation on which our children build their entire education. If no one has acknowledged your incredible work today, let me express my heartfelt gratitude on behalf of all the appreciative parents whose children have thrived because of you. Your efforts pave the way for our kids’ future successes.
