💼 What the programme involves
We work in over 15 kindergartens in Ubud and its surrounding villages. Moreover, we have our own selfÂrunned kindergarten for 4Â5 year olds, who can attend it for free. The kids are right at the start of their school careers and the chance to start learning English since such an early age will prove invaluable for them further on.
Like in kindergartens throughout the world, the teaching is informal as the children will want to play with you more than be ‘taught'. However, just by getting them enthused about coming to school,
giving them some very basic English phrases such as simple greetings, you will may well have sown the seeds of a lifelong learning habit.
The children will all be excited to see you and exceptionally welcoming, due partly to the natural and genuine friendliness of the Balinese, but also the fact that you will be one of a few foreigners they have met!
Please note that the Kindergarten Project will be closed during school break (June, July, August, December)
The aims is to support local kindergartens by helping take care of the children, playing with them and teaching them basic English.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The Balinese place great importance on family and our houses are located amongst Balinese compounds, where you will get the chance to interact with local families and practice your newÂfound language skills. You can expect to share a room (dormitory style) with four to eight other participants. The bathroom is shared, with a hot water shower and western toilets.
We have a Wi-Fi at the house. Internet cafés are also nearby. (10 minute walk).
We provide for 3 meals during weekday (breakfast, lunch, dinner) and 2 meals during the weekend (breakfast, dinner).
Indonesian food is tasty and diverse and you can expect to experience a myriad of flavors and meals during their stay. Typical dishes included mie goreng (fried noodles and vegetables), nasi goreng (fried rice and vegetables) or gado gado (mixed vegetables with a satay sauce). For those who do not eat meat, Indonesian cooking uses a lot of tofu and tempeh (soybeans), we also provide for some of western dishes. Breakfasts are varied and include pancakes, fresh fruit, toast etc. Tea, coffee and purified water is available at the house. We do not recommend that you drink the tap water.
