Teach excitable children aged 4 to 5 years old in local kindergartens needing general assistance and basic English teaching. The children may not be used to too many foreigners and are always excited and welcoming of new volunteers, and love learning about where you are from!
Assist the local teacher and lead some classes on your own, teaching the children basic words and phrases in English.
Knowing the English language can greatly benefit them in the future so getting them inspired to learn the language and education in general is the aim.
Teaching styles are informal and as the children are so young, a lot of teaching will be done through play activities and fun games, songs and dances. The goal is to increase their awareness of the language, so they can go on to further education and have more opportunities in future endeavours.
PLEASE NOTE: the Kindergarten Project will be closed during school break (June, July, August and December). Please ask us about the holiday schedule before booking.
*PLEASE NOTE: All participants for the Education, Teaching, Construction, and Turtle Conservation projects, are required to apply for a C6 Social Cultural visa prior to arrival. Participants who have a Visa On Arrival or an E-Visa on Arrival will not be able to participate in these projects. Participants who only attend the culture, adventure, and yoga weeks will be accepted to join the programs with a Visa on Arrival. Going through an online agency or via our local team is the easiest way to obtain the visa.
**Exceptions to the C6 visa
Participants can join any program with a Visa on Arrival (VOA) for the following program types:
- 1-week culture week, plus 1 to 3 week volunteer program
- 1-week volunteer program
However, it is important to highlight that participants using a VOA must put 'tourism' for reason of visit.
We still encourage volunteers to arrive with a C6 visa for all programs. Please note that obtaining and using a VOA is entirely the participant's responsibility. We cannot be held accountable for any issues or concerns arising from this, as we are obligated to recommend the appropriate visa type for participants joining volunteering projects.
