Grade 00 Class Teacher (Private Pre-School)

Little ones at a Montessori pre-school in Rustenburg learn through play, and you'll set up that play. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

The work is in Rustenburg, North West, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

• Set up daily learning areas for art, blocks, reading and fantasy play
• Prepare simple, nutritious snacks and keep the kitchen hygienic
• Watch children closely outside and keep the play area safe
• Chat to parents at drop-off and pick-up about how the day went

• Warm, patient and energetic with small children
• Able to follow hygiene and safety routines without cutting corners
