The number one thing a teacher needs for small children is the patience of a saint. The teacher will be required to repeat things over and over again, and a really good teacher will make the repetitions be fun, or even enlightening and not monotonous or boring. Gruffness is the mark of an impatient teacher, and is a character trait to watch out for when looking for a teacher for your child. Make sure you judge how the teacher talks to the children or in front of the children though, some teachers- like me- are extremely gruff but soften up completely with the kids.
