Kindergarten teachers are involved in the instruction and development of children who are generally between five and six years old. They guide the children's intellectual and interpersonal growth via play, educational tools and instructional activities in the classroom. Kindergarten teachers are required to have at least a bachelor's degree and teacher certification for the state in which they work. Certification typically requires candidates to complete student teaching requirements and pass any professional exams required by their state. The following table contains the main requirements, as described in the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), for entering into a career as a kindergarten teacher:

It's a tricky level because your task is to bring students at all sorts of academic levels to the point where they are ready for first grade. Some kids are already there on day 1, while others don't know how to hold a crayon!
