Roles & Responsibilities

We are hiring an ECDA-certified Lead English Teacher to join a boutique international preschool near Mountbatten MRT from January 2026 . This role will be for either N1 or N2 , depending on student cohort.

The preschool is housed in a heritage black-and-white bungalow with a private garden, and was recently recognised as one of Singapore’s top three preschools. The environment is collaborative, low-turnover, and guided by the International Preschool Curriculum (IPC) with strong Reggio Emilia and Montessori influences .

This opportunity is ideal for educators currently serving notice or planning a career move who want to step into a stable, inquiry-based international preschool with fixed hours and a close-knit team.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead a class of N1 or N2 children through daily routines, inquiry-driven lessons, and outdoor play
  • Use storytelling, dramatic play, and hands-on exploration to bring learning alive
  • Build strong relationships with parents during drop-off and pick-up (majority are international expat families)
  • Host PTMs and curriculum townhalls independently in English
  • Partner with an experienced international teaching team and classroom assistants
  • Maintain a safe, engaging, and emotionally attuned classroom aligned with ECDA standards

Who We’re Looking For

  • ECDA-certified (minimum L1) with at least 1 year of preschool classroom teaching experience
  • Prior experience in an international preschool is required
  • Warm, energetic presence with confidence in leading inquiry-driven English lessons
  • Strong parent-facing ability — able to engage confidently with non-Chinese-speaking expat parents
  • Familiarity with Reggio, Montessori, or inquiry-led approaches is preferred
  • Able to commit to a Monday to Friday, 8 : 00 AM – 4 : 00 PM fixed schedule
  • Key Details

  • Start Date : 5 January 2026
  • Work Hours : Monday to Friday, 8 : 00 AM – 4 : 00 PM
  • Leave : Over 55+ paid weekdays off annually (school holiday calendar)
  • Bonus : Annual performance bonus (1.5–2 months, based on performance)
  • Salary : $3,500 – $4,500 / month
  • Staff Benefit : Teachers enjoy free enrolment for their own child at the preschool (already utilised by several staff).
  • Why Join This School

  • No shift rotations — fixed, family-friendly work hours
  • Monthly reimbursement for classroom materials
  • Opportunities for professional development (including sponsored online pedagogy courses)
  • Stable, low-turnover teaching team with strong leadership
  • Work-life balance supported by a calm, garden-based environment
  • How to Apply

    This is a full-time, direct-hire position.

    First Konnection is supporting the recruitment process on behalf of the preschool. There are no agency fees, no salary deductions, and no third-party involvement — all teachers hired will be directly employed by the school.

    If you are an ECDA-certified teacher with international preschool experience and are ready to begin fresh in January 2026, we welcome your application.

    Submit your resume via MyCareersFuture . Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
