We are looking for a dedicated and compassionate Preschool Assistant to join our early childhood education team. The ideal candidate will support lead teachers in creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for young children. This role involves assisting with daily classroom activities, maintaining a clean and organized space, and helping children develop social, emotional, and cognitive skills through play and structured learning.
As a Preschool Assistant, you will work closely with children aged 3 to 5 years old, helping them with basic tasks such as handwashing, snack time, and transitioning between activities. You will also support the lead teacher in implementing lesson plans, preparing materials, and observing children's behavior and development. Your role is crucial in fostering a positive and inclusive classroom atmosphere where every child feels valued and supported.
