Kindergarten Assistant Teacher

Role Overview

This position centres on guiding pre-primary learners through their earliest and most formative years of schooling, delivering the Competency-Based Curriculum in a way that builds curiosity, confidence, and foundational literacy and numeracy. The teacher owns the full classroom cycle — planning, instruction, assessment, and family communication — while helping children grow socially, emotionally, and spiritually in a faith-based setting. Because young learners thrive on variety and interaction, the role also calls for someone who brings energy to co-curricular life and can move comfortably between face-to-face and virtual instruction.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and deliver CBC-aligned lessons and learning experiences suited to pre-primary learners, using play, storytelling, song, and hands-on activities to build foundational skills.
• Create and maintain a safe, orderly, and welcoming classroom where children feel secure enough to explore, ask questions, and take part.
• Assess learners continuously through observation, learner portfolios, and other CBC assessment approaches, then use the results to adjust teaching.
• Keep accurate records of attendance, assessment, and learner progress, and prepare reports for school leadership and parents.
• Communicate regularly with parents and guardians about their children's development, behaviour, and learning needs.
• Lead or support co-curricular activities such as music, drama, sports, art, and club sessions, and help prepare learners for school events.
• Integrate Christian values and devotions into the daily routine, modelling the school's faith commitment in interactions with learners and colleagues.
• Use digital tools and learning platforms to deliver or supplement lessons, including during periods of virtual or blended learning.
• Collaborate with fellow teachers and school leadership on curriculum planning, learner support, and school-wide initiatives.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Certificate or Diploma in Early Childhood Development (ECD) from a recognised institution.
• Formal training in the Competency-Based Curriculum, with hands-on classroom experience applying it.
• Current registration with the Teachers Service Commission (TSC).
• At least two years of teaching experience, preferably with pre-primary or early years learners.
• A valid certificate of good conduct.
• Demonstrable computer proficiency, including the ability to plan and facilitate virtual learning.
• Active involvement in co-curricular activities and a willingness to lead or coach them.
• A committed Christian faith, consistent with the school's ethos and daily practice.
• Flexibility and openness to change, with a positive, collaborative attitude toward new methods and school direction.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills for working with young children, parents, and colleagues.

What We Offer / Why Join

• A classroom role within a faith-based environment where Christian values shape daily teaching and school life.
• The chance to work directly with the Competency-Based Curriculum at the early years level, where your teaching has visible, lasting impact.
• Scope to bring your own energy and interests into co-curricular activities and school events.
• Support for technology-enabled teaching, including virtual learning tools.
• A collegial setting that values adaptability and a constructive attitude as the school grows and evolves.
