I work as a kindergarten teacher. The word kindergarten comes from German and actually simply means  garden for the children.
That's interesting, I didn't think of the word that way. Do you enjoy your job?
I love it! We work on a traditional approach in class based on playing, singing and social interaction. Kids are such a joy to work with.
That's fantastic. Social interaction is very important these days with most children spending most of their time online or glued to internet based devices.
I know thats the downside to modern technological advnces.  Kindergartens have existed as far back at the 18th century and began in strasbourg.  They are an excellent way to support children from home into the school environment.
And so important to enable parents to work, too. The 18th century? That's a long time, isn't it? I wonder how different our approaches to childcare are these days as compared to back then.
I can only imagine! Im sure it has changed a lot. Child care is so vital for children and often chilcare providers are our childrens first teachers.
