Daytime kindergarten

About the School
This campus in Juwol-dong, Nam-gu, Gwangju brings together two kindergartens, a daycare and an after-school academy. English classes serve children aged four and up, mainly ages five to ten, including beginners. Lessons use songs, movement, games and other hands-on activities to help younger children take part. Teachers work with supplied textbooks, shared flashcards, props and lesson resources, plus templates for monthly plans and student reports. Korean teachers lead specialist classes such as P.E., art, math and leadership. New teachers receive training and teaching materials, and have an office desk rather than a dedicated classroom. A separate cleaning team handles sweeping, mopping and vacuuming.
