"R.E.A.L Kids offered me my first working experience and working here has been memorable for me. I would love to continue working in R.E.A.L Kids after I complete my studies." - Teacher Gayathiri from R.E.A.L Kids Taman Cuepacs.

What makes a good preschool teacher?

by Teacher Sharmine from R.E.A.L Kids Taman Cuepacs.

A good example of a potentially good preschool teacher would be Teacher Gayathiri from R.E.A.L Kids Taman Cuepacs. She's only 20 years old this year and she's a first year ECCE student from SEGi College. She first impressed Teacher Sharmine by sharing how much she loves children and how that drove her to choose teaching as her career.

Teacher Gayathiri started work with R.E.A.L Kids after her SPM and she worked for about 1 year before she quit middle of 2014 for further studies. Due to the flexibility of her study schedule in the afternoons, she reapplied to us as Assistant Teacher for half day, morning sessions where she gets to apply directly the knowledge she gains from her ECCE studies.

Teacher Gayathiri is a dedicated teacher who is able to multitask. On top of that, she's helpful and willing to help any class at any time. Her dedication is not just at work but practiced at college, resulting in her being one of the top scorers in the college.

One key thing Teacher Sharmine recollects in her experience working with Teacher Gayathiri is that Teacher Gayathiri is mesmerized with how our senior teachers are able to work so long in this field. This has not only inspired her to stick around to taste the fruits of this career but learned to be more organized. Teacher Gayathiri also loves Arts & Crafts, running and organizing Events, Concerts, etc, which are parts and parcels of a preschool teacher's responsibilities.

R.E.A.L Kids Offers Professional Development to Teachers through MAP - Teacher Thila from R.E.A.L Kids Shah Alam

Teacher Thila, a proud member of R.E.A.L Kids' Management Apprentice Program (MAP)

"The R.E.A.L Kids journey had been an incredible and wonderful experience for me.

It allows me to be a true educator. Here in R.E.A.L Kids I encountered new information, skills and concepts related to teaching. It brings new meaning to pedagogy, applied to a child-centered, thematic and technology embedded classroom. 

  

R.E.A.L Kids is more than an organization that provides quality education. It offers professional development to its employees. It changes the traditional thinking and help educators grow as professionals too.

 

Trainings, rewards and recognitions  are the fuels for passionate  teachers  like me to excel in this field.

Consistent with R.E.A.L's philosophy to transform lives through education, R.E.A.L Kids transforms its educators through the Management Apprentice Programme (MAP). Personally I am proud to be one of the chosen ones for this programme. 

It has been a huge source of encouragement and inspiration for those teachers who have been dreaming to fortify their career pathway. I have learned to completely shift my career from an over-focus on teaching, to a multi-skilled individual in areas such as  management, marketing and customer care. This programme provides a platform to share ideas and techniques not only by the participants but also by the extender. I am not the same person as before  although I know I have farther to gain."
