When I got to Canada and got a job as a child care teacher , they told me that one of my duty is to change their diapers!!! And I was shoked! Cause in my country, Iran, teacher don't do that. It is someone else duty to do that! So I quit!
😂 In Germany it´s the same. You are not just a teacher, you´re the maid-of-all-work. At last I found a Kindergarten where we got a helper for the "household chores", otherwise educators must do that too! Unbelievable.
I agree with you, early childhood educator doing the best and their pay should increase like other professional work E.g IT or engineering it involves planing, assessing, crtical thinking, solution problem to solve physical activity whole day plus teaching child in a way that they feel its not burdan and its play.
I´m still learning, I would like to continue studying in these field because children are my main reason whom I still want to work for and yes I was an educator too at some point & I agree that educators are essentials in present day and for future generations.
Im teacher kingdergarten from Indonesia, im interest more about early childhood education especialy in Canada, if i have oportunity for working in canada, some one help me please.... for guide me and show me the way....
Do not ever feel like your job doesn't matter or impact children. I was awarded custody of my 4 year old grandson. He was not worked with or received any interventions. He could not speak, nor was he potty trained or eating with utensils. ECE is critical.
I'm sorry what? I am a preschool teacher in the U.S. and I can tell you that, yes, they can. My school I teach at is very nice. However, I am moving to Manitoba within the next 2 years or so.
