How to Write a Preschool Teaching Resume

Becoming a preschool teacher may be the right career choice for you.

Choosing a career as a preschool teacher typically requires a great passion and dedication for teaching, as well as genuine love for nurturing and caring for children. Most preschool teachers work with children between the ages of 3 and 5, and working with this age group requires a great deal of compassion and patience. If you have decided that becoming a preschool teacher is the right career choice for you, then you need to write a professional resume that demonstrates your relevant experience before you can apply for your first preschool teaching job.

Instructions

1. Type your name and contact information at the top of your resume, including your address, phone number and email. You want to make it easy for the school to contact you if they decide you're a qualified candidate.

2. Create an objective for your preschool teaching resume. Your objective should state the specific type of job you're applying for, such as "Seeking a position as a full-time preschool teacher in a private school."

3. Add your relevant job experience to your resume in a professional experience section. Include teaching jobs you've had, as well as jobs you've had working with children, such as working at a daycare center. For each job, list your title, the company or school, the location and your dates of employment.

4. List three to five bullet points under each job listed in your professional experience section. These bullet points should describe your job duties and responsibilities, as well as the age groups you worked with. When applying for a position as a preschool teacher, you should highlight your experience coordinating activities, supervising large groups of children and incorporating learning into playtime. You should also include experience you've had communicating with parents and guardians about the progress and social development of their children.

5. Add a section to list your education. Include any degrees you've earned and other relevant training. For degrees, list the university, the location, your area of study, the degree you earned and the date you earned it. Degrees should be listed whether they're relevant to preschool education or not. The professional training you list should be directly relevant to a position as a preschool teacher, such as courses taken in child development or CPR certification.
