💼 What the programme involves
You'll have the option to work in two rural kindergartens in a small Laotian village. The children that come to these kindergartens are between the ages of 2-4 and are always eager to spend time and learn from their new teachers!
The tasks you will undertake depend on the needs of the kindergarten you choose to work in. In both kindergartens though, you will get to feed, play with the children, organize activities, and at times, help the staff with cleaning chores.
We aim to teach some basic English and life skills at both facilities through fun and engaging activities, however, the second kindergarten makes a bigger emphasis on this and will have you teaching English to the children as well as the full-time Laotian teachers, making it a more hands-on experience.
