What it needs to be a good kindergarten leader
Educators in the early childhood sector usually enter this profession with a profound love of children. They have their experience and key skills for example, patience, organization and flexibility to name a few. Many can communicate effectively with children, parents and the community.
As early childhood education develops, governing bodies and lawmakers are working to expand and improve the quality of many early childhood settings. It is, in part, up to the educators already in the field to see that they are ready for change. This change will bring them from the world of teaching to that of leadership. Instead of just leading children these educators will now have to lead teachers and staff. There are several important qualities that will make these educators successful leaders.
