Abstract: One's perspective on a chosen line of work is the most important factor that affects the caliber of one’s professional activities and the degree to which success is achieved in the career. If someone has a positive attitude toward the work that they do, they will be more motivated to work harder at their job and complete their tasks in a timely manner. Preschool education is the first stage of formal instruction that a child might complete as part of its participation in the national education system. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance for preschool instructors to keep a positive attitude toward the field in which they are working. Preschool teaching is a very important job. The purpose of this study is to analyze the perspective that pre-school teachers in Vietnam have towards the field in which they work. The authors of the study carried out a survey in the Central Highlands, asking preschool teachers to rate themselves on one of three separate scales, whereas school administrators rated themselves on just one scale. 347 preschool teachers and 18 managers from establishments that employ preschool instructors participated in the study. Despite the challenging socio-economic conditions, the vast majority of the preschool instructors who took part in the research were found to have a positive attitude about their work. This was the case even if they were working in low-income areas.
