Tanzania Nursery school.
Pre-School Teaching Assistant.
Assist teachers with local kids between 2 and 6 in various pre-schools in the colorful and vibrant township of Moshi. Playing games, teaching English and helping with the syllabus are all part of the daily schedule. No experience necessary.The children attending Nursery Schools in Tanzania are mostly between the ages of three and six. The majority of Nurseries are private, as few public Nurseries exist due to the government not being able to afford to establish them. The private Nurseries are often established by teachers, dedicated to teach young children and the pupils may have to pay a small fee to cover the rent expenses and the teachers’ salaries. many parents can't afford it, but those who can, their children often attend the classes after their parents pay the fees. This means some children are not attending school at all because their parents or grand parents cant afford to pay school fees. Travel By Locals visit house by house to make sure all kids attend school, and support those who their parents or grand parent cant afford to pay school fees. The volunteers we place in Nurseries assist and teach basic English and Maths. This means for example, counting from 1 to 25 and the letters in the alphabet. Teaching the children nursery rhymes and games, as well as simply providing them with some attention and affection will also be included in your activities. The Nurseries are usually open in the mornings from 8am until 12 pm. We have partnerships with Nurseries in all the Travel By Locals locations. Teaching is a highly appreciated job, and the teachers dress accordingly. A volunteer should respect this and dress in clothes covering the shoulders and knees. As resources in Tanzanian schools are so limited, any kind of donation to the pupils is very welcome from pens and pencils to notebooks. Also anything that you can provide that will aid teaching such as workbooks, arts and crafts materials, reading books and flashcards will prove useful to you during your time at the project. You can perform nursery school volunteering or internship program at Moshi Kilimanjaro region. |
