A day in the life of a nursery teacher
A nursery school teacher's day is filled with lesson planning, play-based learning, and emotional labor as she manages 45 young children. The job demands constant vigilance and preparation, both during and after school hours.
Brenda Atuheire, a nursery school teacher at Marigolds Christian School in Uganda, begins her day at 6am. She prepares for a day of lesson planning, play-based learning, and managing 45 young children. Atuheire's day is filled with constant vigilance, from welcoming children at 7.15am to planning activities and teaching phonics and numeracy. Even during lunch and the children's afternoon nap, she multitasks, eating, marking books, and organizing materials. Atuheire's official day ends at 5.30pm, but she often continues working at home, printing materials for the next day. With three assistants, she divides the class into smaller groups based on ability and tracks each child's progress, writing individual reports weekly.
