Most students will not remember their preschool teachers' names when they get older, but this doesn't mean a preschool teacher's role is insignificant. Preschool teachers help shape how young children feel about learning and help them build essential skills. Preschool teachers must be trained properly to work with young children in a safe, effective and nurturing way. In childcare centers, preschool teachers are usually required to have a least a high school diploma and certification in early childhood education, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Some employers might prefer teachers with some postsecondary education in early childhood education.
Safety is one of the most important issues in a preschool classroom. Most states require preschool teachers to be certified to perform child and infant CPR and they should also receive basic first aid training. In addition, preschool teachers are required to report suspected cases of child abuse or neglect to the authorities and should be trained to recognize the signs and symptoms of abuse in children.
Working effectively with preschoolers requires understanding their emotional, intellectual and physical needs and abilities. A few basic courses in child development will help preschool teachers understand their students and ensure they are better prepared to meet those needs. In addition to offering an overview of preschoolers' needs, child development training might focus on providing teachers with age-appropriate activities and best practices to help build essential skills.
