Term 3 Week 3 + 4: Occupations

Did you know?

Occupations

Why do we teach about occupations?

Preschool is when most children start learning about all of the different career-related possibilities their futures may hold, which is why exposing children to a variety of careers at an early age can play a major role in the direction a child's life takes.

Remember that they will also change their mind many times and should be allowed to do this as they learn more and more about different careers.

Children also want to be just like their mom or just like their dad, so share what you do, as it could inspire them to do this and more.

My favourite is "one day I want to be....KIND".
