Let’s get one thing straight: preschool teachers are not babysitters. For nearly 30 years, I’ve heard people say, “Oh, you’re just a preschool teacher? You must be a babysitter.” And let me tell you, nothing could be further from the truth. If you’re in early childhood education, you know exactly what I mean. We’re not just keeping kids entertained; we’re shaping young minds, building futures, and laying the foundation for lifelong learning. It’s time we shine a light on our field and claim the title we’ve earned—preschool teachers are real teachers.
But here’s the deal: if we want to be seen as legit educators, we need to act like it. That means stepping up our game with high-quality, engaging curriculum every single month.
High-Quality Curriculum = Real Teaching
To be recognized as teachers, we need to make sure we’re delivering curriculum that does more than fill time. We’re talking about lessons that engage, inspire, and challenge our students in ways that make them excited to learn. Age-appropriate activities that hit all the right markers: math, science, music, cooking, and more. Because guess what? Every child learns differently. It’s our job to provide a wide range of activities that cater to all learning styles. When we plan and deliver diverse, high-quality curriculum, we show the world that what we do matters.
Planning Can Be Overwhelming—We’ve Got You!
I get it—planning curriculum every month can be tough. Between managing a classroom and juggling all the other day-to-day responsibilities, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But that’s no excuse to settle for less. If we want the respect we deserve, we need to bring our A-game. And here’s the good news: you don’t have to do it alone! At Loving Start, we’ve done the heavy lifting for you.
We’ve created a community where you can download, print, and follow our high-quality, theme-based curriculum. It’s packed with engaging, hands-on activities that are not only fun but also hit key educational milestones. Math? Check. Science? Check. Creative arts? You bet. The best part? It’s all ready for you. No more late nights stressing about what to plan next. Just grab our curriculum and get back to doing what you do best—teaching.
From “Babysitter” to “Super Teacher”
The truth is, we’re already doing the work of teachers. But if we want the world to see us as such, we need to raise the bar and show just how valuable we are, proving that preschool teachers are not babysitters. By providing high-quality, engaging curriculum every month, we’re not just elevating our profession—we’re setting our students up for success. And when we give kids the tools they need to develop a love of learning, we become more than just teachers—we become super teachers.
So, if you’re ready to take your preschool teaching to the next level, let us help you. Join our early childhood community, download our curriculum, and watch how it transforms your classroom. Together, we can elevate early childhood education and claim our rightful status as real teachers.
