Teaching Early Childhood Classrooms

Early childhood teachers can be faced with a unique set of rewards and challenges in their classroom. I’ve spent the majority of my teaching career in the lower grades, so I know how exhausting it can be to answer zillions of questions every day from the little ones who are so inquisitive!

A few hints and tips for this special area of the school:

Be prepared to be tired in your first few weeks, especially if you are teaching year one! The first few weeks of ‘routine making’ can be really tough on both you and the kids. I would highly recommend scaling down any out side of work commitments for the first month of the school year, for your own sanity – and so you can give your very best to the students

If you are working in childcare, and are struggling with getting children to settle during nap time, there are some excellent strategies you can use that are found on this website. There is also a wonderful audio program online that gives you a whole host of tools for getting toddlers and babies to sleep, so click on the link to check it out.

If there are any problems with the students in your class, you are probably going to be the first person to break this to the parents – so expect some resistance and try not to take it too personally. When I was a brand new teacher I remember I had to deal with a little boy who wasn’t learning at the rate of the others, and the parents became really defensive about it, and I got really upset. Learn from my mistake – it is not personal, they are just worried!

Be familiar with the various Early Childhood pedagogies that are out there, especially if you are planning on trying for a job in a preschool. Do the terms Montessori, Rudolph Steiner, Reggio Emilia ring a bell? If not, do a simple search on Wikipedia to refresh your memory.

If you are teaching preschool and worried about how to cover the curriculum in a developmentally appropriate way, there are some excellent, downloadable resources on the web. There are over 150 preschool teaching tools, including counting, number, alphabet, handwriting, sight words, art, and science activities at this website. If a literature rich curriculum is your desire, then this website might help.

Do you want to start your teaching career off right? Work smart, not hard!
