Preschool teacher CV templates: listing qualifications, age groups taught and skills for public, private and international schools
A preschool principal reads a CV to answer three questions: do you hold the required qualification, which age group have you taught and with how many children, and would parents feel safe leaving their child with you. A good preschool teacher CV answers all three in the top half of the first page. Việc Hot has 8 preschool teacher CV templates with warm, readable layouts. The sections below cover how to write for public, private and international schools and childcare groups, and how to describe experience by age group.
A preschool teacher CV for each type of school
| Employer | Documents usually required | What to highlight |
|---|---|---|
| Public school | Documents usually requiredPublic employee (viên chức) application as announced: registration form, personal history statement, copies of degrees | What to highlightQualifications, certificates, academic results |
| Private school | Documents usually requiredCV, application letter, copies of degrees | What to highlightClassroom experience, activity planning skills |
| International or bilingual school | Documents usually requiredCV (often in English), language certificates | What to highlightCurriculum taught, English, teaching methods |
| Childcare group or independent class | Documents usually requiredShort CV, health certificate | What to highlightInfant care, first aid, meals, naps and hygiene |
Public schools hire through public employee exams or selection rounds, and the application follows the local announcement. For the personal history statement use the personal history statement template, and for the letter the teacher application letter template. A CV still helps for private and international schools and when preparing for interviews.
Qualifications and certificates on a preschool teacher CV
Under the 2019 Education Law (Luật Giáo dục 2019), the standard qualification for preschool teachers is a teacher training college degree or higher. Give the exact degree, the Early Childhood Education major, the school and graduation year. If you are studying for a bachelor's top-up, write "In progress, expected to graduate in 2027".
- College or university degree in early childhood education, with classification.
- English and computer certificates if the school asks for them.
- First aid certificate and method certificates such as Montessori, if you have them.
- Professional title grade if you are already a public employee.
- A valid health certificate, which many schools require with the application.
Describing experience by age group and class size
Teaching a nursery group and teaching the pre-primary class are different jobs. Each experience entry should state the age group, class size, your role (lead or assistant teacher) and one concrete result.
| Age group | Main focus | Results worth listing |
|---|---|---|
| Nursery (under 3) | Main focusMeals, naps, hygiene; settling children into class | Results worth listingHow many children stopped crying after the first week, parent feedback |
| Kindergarten 3 - 4 | Main focusRoutines, self-care, movement | Results worth listingShare of children eating and putting away their things on their own |
| Kindergarten 4 - 5 | Main focusLanguage, social skills, group activities | Results worth listingObserved lessons, competitions entered |
| Kindergarten 5 - 6 | Main focusReadiness for grade 1, letters and numbers | Results worth listingProgrammes and class projects delivered |

Common mistakes in preschool teacher CVs
- A generic objective such as "loves children, enthusiastic" with nothing concrete behind it.
- No age group listed, so the recruiter cannot tell which class suits you.
- A heavily made-up photo or a photo taken with children in class.
- Naming or showing children when describing achievements; give class-level figures only.
- Spelling mistakes, which make recruiters think of the contact books and notices you will write.
