Abstract

The living state of 0-3 year-old children early-education teachers directly determines the quality of early-education and healthy development of early-education career of a nation. To get to know the living state of 0-3 year-old children early-education teachers in Chongqing, China, this study selected 136 early-education teachers in this city by stratified sampling. They were asked to fill in a questionnaire to evaluate their career state and eighteen of them were individually interviewed for detailed information. The results showed that the salary of early-education teachers is generally low while job stress and burden are relatively high. They lack the effective support for their professional development and have strong sense of job burnout. The data also showed high career mobility among the early-education teachers. Therefore, improving the living state of early-education teachers deserves great attention from the education administrative department and early-education organizations. Proposed strategies include improving their welfare, creating a harmonious working environment, strengthening their professional capacity training and reducing their work burden, etc.
