| 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.”
