Grade 00 Class Teacher (Private Pre-School)

You'll care for and teach young children at a private pre-primary school in Krugersdorp, from nappies to first letters. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

This post is Krugersdorp-based, with most of your time spent at a private pre-primary school.

• Clean and sanitise toys, mats and tables at the end of the day
• Set up daily learning areas for art, blocks, reading and fantasy play
• Prepare simple, nutritious snacks and keep the kitchen hygienic
• Plan themes and holiday programmes with the principal
• Feed, change and settle babies and toddlers on their routine
• Observe each child and note milestones in their development file

• Paediatric first aid certificate
• Experience caring for children in a group setting, even as a volunteer
• ECD Level 4 or Level 5 qualification, or currently studying towards one
• Clear Form 30 child protection check and police clearance

• Speak more than one home language of the children you'll teach
• Montessori diploma or Reggio-inspired training

• Short holiday closures over December and Easter
• Sponsored ECD Level 5 studies
• Reduced fees for your own child
• Lunch provided on school days

• Add one sentence about an activity you ran that the children loved; it shows you can plan, not just supervise.
• Apply for the Form 30 check early, as it can take weeks and many creches won't appoint without it.
