Most people choose to work in childcare because they enjoy working with children, and working in the childcare sector is extremely rewarding. A day in the life working in early childhood means lots of variety with no two days being the same plus, you get to be a part of a community that helps children learn, grow, and develop. Childcare workers play an essential role in the lives of children, giving them a great start in life by assisting them in developing social skills in a safe and nurturing atmosphere that fosters learning through play.
