primary teachers

Young children's instructors

Primary teachers are educators who teach children in the earliest years of formal schooling, typically ages five through eleven.

The term is more common in British and Australian English, where it corresponds to American "elementary teachers." Primary teachers usually handle multiple subjects for a single class rather than specializing: She's been a primary teacher for fifteen years.
