Kindergarten English Teacher

 DAE Kindergarten is an international kindergarten and an International Baccalaureate (IB) candidate school located in Changsha City, Hunan, China. Currently, the school consists of 20 staff members and over 50 students, or as we call family members.

Our education philosophy focuses on the interactions between children and nature. The school covers an area of over 10,000 square meters and is surrounded by nature such as forest, lake, and golf course. Most of our courses are held outdoors with activities such as climbing mountains, playing with water and sand, swimming, learning about plants and insects, and other exploratory play. Throughout these activities, staff members are encouraging and enthusiastic building a bond with the children and the kindergarten.

Every morning, we take our children to the fields so they can catch insects, water our plants, and listen to birds singing. The children here are free to explore our lawn finding anything that captivates them. We also often take adventures into the woods, discovering the secrets and collecting leaves, branches, flowers, and grass to design our own handicraft works. Furthermore, we teach our children how to cook so that they learn about appreciating everything they eat.

Our adventures also vary with season. In spring, we sow vegetable seeds and plant them with hope and love. In summer, we swim and play in our own swimming pool and learn about water. In autumn, we sit under the trees and taste our handmade Osmanthus tea and cake to feel the fragrance of fruits. In winter, we make a small bamboo sledge to ski and build snowmen. Regardless of the weather, we do outdoor activities  every day to appreciate the beauty of nature.

Lastly, on weekends, we invite our staff and friends to have a barbecue party at the school with a bonfire and games to enrich our family relation.
