13.1.1 What does distinguish teachers?
Teachers possess advanced knowledge in child development and early childhood education that they apply when they have to make judgments, justifications, and decisions on a moment-by-moment basis.
Caregiver and child care worker are someone who works in a child care centre, and cares for the physical and emotional needs of infants, toddlers, or preschoolers.
Those who work with young children, both educating and nurturing as parts of their job use only the terms "teacher" and "assistant teacher or aide" (NAEYC, 2004).
