Once upon a time, there was a preschool teacher named Lan, who had dedicated over ten years to her profession. “Teaching young children is like nurturing young plants,” Ms. Lan believed, and every smile from her students was a boundless joy. However, the burden of daily living often kept her awake at night with worries. Then one day, she overheard a colleague mention “seniority pay.” So, what exactly is seniority pay for preschool teachers? And what does it mean for silent contributors like Ms. Lan?
Seniority Pay: A Worthy Compensation for Silent Contributions
Seniority pay is a recognition of the merits and dedication of preschool teachers over years of tireless work. Simply put, the longer the seniority, the higher the salary, allowances, and other benefits. Like “accumulating small things to make a big one,” each passing year, accumulated experience and dedication to the profession are rewarded with additional allowances, helping to stabilize the lives of preschool teachers.
Seniority pay is calculated based on the actual years of service in the preschool education sector. Specifically, for each year of service, teachers will receive an additional salary step, corresponding to an increase in salary and allowances. Ms. Nguyen Thi Huong, a leading preschool education expert, stated in her book “Nurturing Future Sprouts”: “Seniority pay is not only a material recognition but also a great spiritual encouragement, helping teachers to be assured in their work and wholeheartedly dedicate themselves to the cause of education.”
Frequently Asked Questions About Seniority Pay
Many preschool teachers, especially newcomers, often have questions about seniority pay. Some common questions include:
- Is the internship period included in seniority?
- If I transfer to another school, will my seniority be affected?
- How do I know my exact years of seniority?

These questions are perfectly legitimate and need to be answered clearly. Typically, the internship period will be included in seniority if the teacher is subsequently officially employed by the school. Transferring to another school usually does not affect seniority, as long as the teacher continues to work in the preschool education sector. To know the exact years of seniority, teachers can contact the personnel department of their school or the local department of education.

Spirituality and the Teaching Profession
Vietnamese people have long respected the teaching profession, considering it a noble career, “cultivating people.” Many believe that teaching young children is meritorious, sowing good seeds, and will be blessed by heaven and Buddha. Ms. Lan is no different; every day she goes to school, she silently prays for her students to be obedient, healthy, and grow up quickly. This belief, although invisible to the naked eye, is a powerful motivation that helps her overcome all difficulties and continue to be attached to the profession.
