QUALITIES THAT DEFINE GREAT PRE-PRIMARY TEACHERS
Being a pre-primary teacher is as tough as it gets. Apart from the toil involved in running around tiny tots and teaching them the things they need to know, teachers at the pre-primary level need to constantly hear tantrums from not just kids but parents as well. Training isn’t all it takes to be a great pre-primary teacher as there are a set of qualities that define the art. In this article, Happy Cubs lists some of those important qualities:
