The role of the French Teacher
As a French Teacher, you’ll lead 30-45 minute French lessons supporting the children to learn the language and immerse them in cultural exploration. You’ll cater to different learning styles and ages from 3 months to 5 years, considering immersive ways to keep children engaged throughout the sessions. You’ll teach songs, rhymes, and read stories, enriching language, social, and physical development through varied activities.
Planning lessons in advance and assessing the children’s learning are key parts of the role, with an emphasis on developing the children's social communication skills. Integrating French into different activities such as snack time will aid the learning process.
Your primary focus will be creating a safe and inspiring learning environment where every child thrives. You’ll be a team player ensuring that you provide the best and most enriching learning experience and stepping into the Nursery Educator role when not teaching French lessons. Effective communication with parents, children, and colleagues will be essential.
We believe in celebrating every child's unique journey, and you'll play a key role in assessing and recording their progress and achievements. By aligning to our systems of observation, you'll ensure no milestone goes unnoticed.
We take pride in creating a nurturing environment that caters to individual needs, acknowledging the diversity of each child's background, culture, disabilities, and medical history.
What’s next?
If you’re ready to seize the opportunity to join the Kido team and build a future of possibilities for the children at our Waterloo nursery, apply today and we’ll be in touch.
