Career opportunities
The pre-school teacher works with children aged 3-7 years. Preschoolers learn by imitation, so as a kindergarten teacher you don’t just play with children, you model for them. You develop them through storytelling, singing, story-telling, arts and crafts, puppetry, movement games, drawing and role-playing. During joint activities, visits and excursions, it is important to provide experiences and knowledge. As a pre-school teacher, you will be in contact with parents and institutions (e.g. child protection, school, specialised educational services). If you know a foreign language, this profession is also popular on the job market abroad.
