Kindergarden Teacher

• 

• We are an International Kindergarten created in 2003 that has been enjoying rapid growth, but still maintain a warm and friendly atmosphere for teachers and students. Class sizes are kept small to maximize teacher contact. We currently have 40+ students enrolled in our preschool / kindergarten programmes. Students’ age ranges from 2-6 years and are taught on location at our school in Ogaki, Gifu-ken. We use a curriculum based on the Full-Day Ontario Kindergarten Curriculum, but teachers creative input is always more than welcomed.

  Our oldest students all speak English and the new entering kids quickly adapt their language skills and soon stop speaking Japanese. This is a wonderful environment in which to observe language acquisition.

• The work is incredibly full filing. This is not your typical “Eikaiwa” job where you see little progress in your students... This is an experience where it is possible to really get to know your students on a personal level and have a great influence in their early childhood education. This is a job you will never forget!

  Workdays are Monday to Friday, with the exception of some of the school’s special events.
  Teachers need to be team players, energetic, self motivated, flexible, patient, and most importantly; willing to love children.
