Preschool Teacher Jobs in Oklahoma

A Preschool Teacher plays a crucial role in elementary education, providing early childhood education and care to children between the ages of 3 to 5 years old. They are responsible for creating lesson plans and curricula focused on different areas of child development, such as language, motor, and social skills. They use games, storytelling, arts and crafts, music, and physical activities to engage children and make learning fun. Preschool Teachers also monitor and assess a child's progress, while ensuring a safe and comfortable learning environment.

Preschool Teachers should have excellent communication and interpersonal skills to effectively interact with children, parents, and co-workers. They should be patient, creative, and have the ability to inspire and motivate children. A degree in early childhood education is typically required. They also need to have specific certifications like a Child Development Associate (CDA) or Certified Childcare Professional (CCP) credentials. Before becoming a Preschool Teacher, individuals might work as a childcare worker, teacher's aide, or even as a nanny, which offers valuable experience in managing and caring for children.
