R.E.A.L Kids has a Strong Preschool Brand to Ride On - Teacher Carmen from ALFA

Teacher Carmen, Diploma ECE graduate from ALFA International College. She's been with us since 2005 and she further her studies later on with ALFA to meet the early years' professional expectations. She's currently a Supervisor with R.E.A.L Kids.

“I would rate my working experience at R.E.A.L Kids so far to be 4 out of 5 or Very Good. I have had a lot of opportunities to learn with and from good colleagues. R.E.A.L Kids also offers a very good environment to work in as we have very friendly staff here. It is also a very good place for personal and career development, as the principal is very good at coaching and guiding the teachers as well as being encouraging at the same time. I feel we have a strong brand to ride on as most people in the ECCE industry are familiar with R.E.A.L Kids. On top of this, I think that we have one of the best preschool curriculums in town.”

Encouraging Environment to Teach 3-year-old Toddlers via Multiple Intelligence Approach - Teacher Hema from UNITAR

Teacher Hema, Degree ECE Graduate from UNITAR International University. Currently an Assistant Teacher with R.E.A.L Kids.

“Working at R.E.A.L Kids has been very good. I would rate it as 5 out of 5 due to its good environment as well as having understanding principal and teachers. I feel that I am able to learn more here compared to my previous preschools. I have learned how to teach and care for children from toddlers up to 3-year-olds. It has been challenging but I love it as my workplace is comfortable and conducive. Teaching and learning-wise, the Multiple Intelligences or MI approach at R.E.A.L Kids is ideal for slow learners who might lag behind other students. Personally, I have encouraged 3 junior teachers to join R.E.A.L Kids because I think it is the best place for them to work with young children and learn more about the profession. Meanwhile, parents should consider R.E.A.L Kids because of its unique programmes, passionate teachers, and wide range of extracurricular activities such as Art & Craft and many others.”

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.”
