Abstract

This article is an attempt to present the school everyday life of early childhood teachers from their own perspective. Unstructured interviews with narrative elements were carried out. The analysis and interpretation of the obtained data was carried out in accordance with the interpretative paradigm. The surveyed teachers, despite their dissatisfaction with their lack of appreciation (both social and financial) in their stories, emphasize the importance of the benefits of choosing their professional path. Working with children, accompanying them in their development, supporting and teaching them is the most important source of satisfaction with their work. This balancing between poor pay, excessive bureaucracy, ambiguity of social expectations and admiration for children, gaining satisfaction from the possibilities of their own development and unconventionality build the everyday life of early school teachers.
