Abstract
Pre-school teachers frequently face high levels of stress and burnout due to factors such as inadequate resources, challenging work environments, and low compensation. Examining these issues can guide the development of policies and practices aimed at enhancing teacher well-being and improving retention rates. The quality of early childhood education is closely tied to the quality of teaching, highlighting the importance of addressing the challenges faced by pre-school teachers. Additionally, the lack of resources and support disproportionately impacts teachers in underprivileged areas. The study emphasizes the importance of having professionally educated teachers to ensure quality teaching. Furthermore, it suggests that children who receive pre-school education are better equipped to adjust to formal schooling, making pre-school enrolment crucial. The findings call for increased support and resources for pre-schools to improve the quality of early childhood education.
