Rewarding Career with R.E.A.L Kids and Good Learning Ground - Teacher Kym from SEGi

Teacher Kym, Bachelor of Early Childhood Education graduate from SEGi University, Management Apprentice with R.E.A.L Kids.

“I am having a very rewarding career experience with R.E.A.L Kids. I am also thankful to be blessed with my good mentor, who taught and guided me in both the teaching and management aspects of preschool education. To me, the people and work environment are more important than Employer Brand and compensation. This is particularly essential when building a united team whose members have good understanding of their duties and practice teamwork.

One major challenge however, would be juggling work and studies if for instance; you take up a Master’s in Special Needs degree while serving as Management Apprentice in a start-up centre. It can be demanding as you need to play multiple roles including that of a class teacher in order to meet parents’ and management’s expectations. But I would still recommend junior teachers to join R.E.A.L Kids because it is a good learning ground. You will have good mentors who are helpful and ever willing to teach. There is also a lot you can learn in areas such as micro and macro management. At the same time, I feel that ECE graduates who are keen on the Management Apprentice role should be prepared and willing to take up the challenge of hiring qualified and passionate teachers for their respective centres.”
