You have questions, whether you're a new or experienced teacher. You want tried-and-true methods. Your school year should be as easy and as organized as possible. Don't be overwhelmed.

You have a life beyond school. You don't want your time spent on work-related matters.

PRESCHOOL TEACHER SURVIVAL GUIDE

Take a deep breath.

These survival guides are for both new and experienced teachers. Some links are mine, and others are from other sources. Let me know if you have any questions after reading this guide. I'll do my best to assist you!

NEW update! Teachers: If your school is closed and you're teaching online, please check this Connecting With Students During School Closures page.
