Young children are naturally curious, imaginative, and eager to explore the world. In a Waldorf kindergarten, we honour this early stage of development by creating a nurturing, rhythmic, and wonder-filled environment.
At TongXin Waldorf School, we are looking for a full-time Kindergarten Assistant who will support the lead teacher in fostering a safe, joyful, and creative space for young children to thrive. Your role will be hands-on and heart-centred—helping guide children through their daily rhythms, encouraging their social and emotional growth, and assisting in activities that engage their senses and imagination.

You don't need prior experience in Waldorf education—just a deep love for working with young children and a willingness to learn. Here, you'll have the opportunity to observe, assist, and grow as an educator, while being part of a caring, collaborative team. Training and mentorship will be provided.

• Create a Calm, Inviting Space – Help set up, tidy, and maintain a beautiful, orderly classroom where children feel safe and inspired.
• Guide Daily Rhythms & Routines – Support children through meals, rest, play, and transitions with consistency and care.
  Encourage Social & Emotional Growth – Foster kindness, patience, and confidence, modelling respectful communication.
  Engage in Hands-On Activities – Assist with storytelling, crafting, movement, and nature-based learning, nurturing curiosity and creativity.
  Supervise & Care for Children – Provide gentle guidance and support, ensuring each child feels seen and valued.
  Support Seasonal Festivals & School Life – Help bring meaningful traditions to life, strengthening the sense of wonder and belonging.
  Observe & Communicate – Notice moments of growth and learning, sharing insights with the lead teacher.
• Contribute to School Life – Join a supportive, engaged team where teachers, students, and parents learn and grow together.

• A caring, patient, and attentive educator who enjoys working with young children.
• Someone who can follow the lead teacher's guidance while also taking initiative when needed.
• A strong team player who values open communication and collaboration.
• Organised and reliable, with the ability to help maintain a structured yet flexible classroom environment.
• Open to learning about Waldorf education principles and incorporating them into daily interactions with children.

• Experience working with young children in a school, childcare, or playgroup setting (preferred).
• Basic training or certification in early childhood education (preferred but not required).
• Fluency in English and another language prferred (e.g. Malay, Chinese & Hindi).
• Creative, hands-on skills such as storytelling, handcrafts, music, or movement are a plus!

This is more than a job—it's a chance to be part of a school that cherishes warmth, connection, and the magic of early childhood. If you love working with young children and want to support their growth in a nurturing, holistic environment, we'd love to hear from you.
