A mother teacher job description emphasizes a nurturing, supportive, and educational environment for young children, similar to a parent's care. This role, common in pre-primary (Nursery, UKG) and early primary school (Grades 1 and 2), focuses on holistic child development.
Key responsibilities
Mother teachers are responsible for developing and implementing age-appropriate lesson plans using creative and play-based methods. They create a positive and safe classroom environment, establish routines, and help children develop social skills. A key part of the role is providing nurturing care, emotional support, and ensuring the well-being and safety of the children. They also observe and assess each child's progress and interests to foster their development and independence. Communication with parents about a child's progress and advising on home learning support is also essential. Mother teachers collaborate with colleagues and participate in school events and training.
