Skills For Preschool Teachers

This text presents a discussion of the basic classroom skills that are essential to teachers in preschool, center-based child care, Head Start, and pre-kindergarten settings. The content is built around the 13 functional areas of the Child Development Associate (CDA) credential, which also makes it useful for those who are updating their skills or preparing for the national CDA credential. Each skill topic is presented with both theoretical background and ideas for practical applications in working with young children and their families.
