This text presents a discussion of the basic classroom skills that are essential to teachers in preschool, center-based child care, Head Start, and pre-kindergarten settings. The content is built around the 13 functional areas of the Child Development Associate (CDA) credential, which also makes it useful for those who are updating their skills or preparing for the national CDA credential. Each skill topic is presented with both theoretical background and ideas for practical applications in working with young children and their families.

For over two decades, Skills for Preschool Teachers has prepared teachers, teaching assistants, college students, classroom volunteers, and CDA candidates to work with children three-to-five years of age in preschools, center-based child care, Head Starts, and pre-kindergartens. Its practical checklists for observing children and the classroom environment has been a hallmark of this text, as well as its use of the latest children’s picture books as lead-ins to every curriculum area covered. The appropriate NAEYC Program Standards can be found in every chapter, as well as a section on inclusion and how to help children with disabilities succeed in classroom activities.
Proven in content with clearly-written prose, this sound resource provides the early childhood practitioner with solid and practical tips, new research, and empirically-based methods and strategies for working with and teaching young children in an array of educational settings.
