Singapore FIRST KONNECTION PTE. LTD. Full time
Roles & Responsibilities

We're hiring an ECDA-certified Lead Chinese Language Teacher to join a boutique international preschool near Mountbatten MRT for the N2 age group (3–4 years old), starting January 2026.

The preschool is housed in a black-and-white bungalow with a private garden, recently recognised as one of Singapore's top preschools. The school offers a collaborative, child-led environment, guided by the International Preschool Curriculum (IPC) with strong Reggio and Montessori influences.

This is a full-time, on-site position ideal for educators who are confident leading Mandarin lessons, comfortable engaging international families, and excited to join a warm, inquiry-based teaching team.

What You'll Do

  • Lead Mandarin lessons for the N2 cohort (ages 3–4)
  • Plan and co-develop curriculum with your English co-lead and class assistant
  • Facilitate play-based, inquiry-driven Mandarin Chinese learning
  • Maintain classroom documentation (biweekly updates, journaling)
  • Host parent-teacher meetings and school townhalls (in English)
  • Engage confidently with non-Chinese-speaking parents at pickup/drop-off
  • Contribute to classroom setup and curriculum planning with the team

Who We're Looking For

  • ECDA-recognised L2 certification (Chinese Language track)
  • Minimum 3 years' preschool classroom experience (group-based only)
  • Prior experience in an international preschool is required
  • Confident in leading full-class Mandarin lessons independently
  • Strong spoken English — must be able to host parent meetings and school events independently
  • Comfortable engaging Mandarin-speaking parents and international families
  • Familiar with inquiry-based learning (Reggio, Montessori preferred)
  • Able to commit to a Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM fixed schedule

Key Details

  • Start Date: 5 January
  • Work Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM
  • Leave: Over 55+ paid weekdays off annually (MOE-aligned school holiday calendar)
  • Bonus: Annual performance bonus (1.5–2 months based on performance)
  • Salary: $4,200 – $4,800/month (depending on experience and qualifications)
  • Staff Benefit: Teachers enjoy free enrolment for their child at the preschool. Four of our teachers' children are already students at the centre.

Why Join This School

  • No shift rotations — stable, fixed hours
  • Monthly reimbursement for classroom materials
  • Opportunities for professional development (e.g. sponsored online pedagogy courses)
  • Collaborative teaching team with low turnover and strong leadership
  • Calm, grounded work culture in a private garden setting
