Key Summary
Why is the BA in Pre-school teaching a good choice?
Pre-school teachers have one of the most intimate relationships with children.

What can you do with this qualification?
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, and specialized educational services). If you know a foreign language, this profession is also popular in the job market abroad.
