This makes for a very interesting read and as a mother of 5 kids, I can certainly say that preschool teachers are NOT babysitters but are instrumental in the development of a child. They are in most cases a child's first introduction to a school environment and their interactions have a direct impact to how children perceive school from a very early age and throughout their schooling life, both positive and unfortunately negative. And I will say that after volunteering in their classrooms, that not all are created equal...
