Preschool teachers provide activities for children from 6 months to twelve years of age to advance their physical, mental, and social development. Their primary job is to provide a positive climate for learning and to plan and present programs of instruction using materials and teaching methods designed to meet the needs of the students.

They plan individual and group activities to stimulate growth in language, social, and motor skills, such as learning to listen to instructions, playing with others, and using playing equipment. They use games, music, artwork, films, books, computers, and other tools to teach basic skills.

Preschool teachers introduce students to numbers, language, science, and social studies. They supervise children and plan recreational activities helping children to develop self-confidence, explore their interests, develop their talents, and learn how to behave with others. They may also administer evaluative tests, keep class records, make reports, and organize groups and individual study projects. They may confer with parents and plan and direct the work of aides and assistants.
