English kindergarten teachers
The number of English-language kindergartens continues to grow each year in Russia. Parents strive to raise a bilingual or polyglot kid, so they send their children to kindergartens to learn foreign languages at the age of 1.5-2 years.
With the growth of private kindergartens, competition for parents and students also increases. Kindergartens that have teachers from the UK among their staff have an advantage. A teacher from England for preschoolers and a professional English nanny in a nursery will not only have a positive effect on educational services, but also enhance the prestige of the kindergarten.
Today there are from 30 to 100 private chilcare companies in every administrative district of Moscow. All kindergartens offer English language classes daily or several times a week
What are the criteria for picking an English teacher/tutor or a nanny for your kindergarten?
Teachers from England are engaged not only in teaching English, but also in developing the creative and intellectual abilities of children, as well as teaching them manners and etiquette. An English primary school teacher is a certified specialist with good grammar and distinct pronunciation. The standard requirements for a teacher are the following: major in pedagogy or linguistics, experience working with children in preschool settings in the UK, and additional expertise in early childhood development.
The best choice for a bilingual kindergarten is a qualified nanny with experience working with children from 2 to 4 in nurseries and kindergartens in the UK. An English nanny working in a nursery always has a certificate of completion of medical courses like a first aid certificate and specialised education in the field of caring for young children.
Tuition fees in English-speaking schools and kindergartens depend on many factors. One of the top priorities is professional staff. Parents who are ready to spend 70-150 000 rubles on their child’s tuition monthly, will certainly want to know if there are any native speakers working in kindergarten.
