OK, so once again the JEs are reflecting recent usage better than the kokugos.

Regardless of what's decided, we probably should mention that this term explicitly refers to female carers (in contrast to 保父)

native informer says "保育園の先生". which doesn't trump the kokugos, but gives a hint about how it's actually used. I don't think children's nurse is right, and that the teacher gloss should go back in, even if it doesn't align eiththe kokugos.

"kindergarten teacher" seems a bit off the mark.
