Instruct preschool-aged students, following curricula or lesson plans, in activities designed to promote social, physical, and intellectual growth.
Employment of preschool teachers is projected to grow 4 percent from 2023 to 2033, about as fast as the average for all occupations. About 61,400 openings for preschool teachers are projected each year, on average, over the decade. Many of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire.
