Hello! I’m Kai Lin
I am a Preschool English Teacher at
My First Skool
What inspired you to become a preschool English teacher?
Kai Lin: My journey into early childhood education was greatly influenced by my family. Growing up, I listened to my mum and sister share their rewarding experiences in the field. Their stories, full of joy and purpose, inspired me to take on a similar role in shaping young lives.
Kai Lin: One memory that really stands out for me was a special day in the nursery. A shy child I had been working with came up to me unexpectedly and, with excitement in her eyes, said my name for the first time. In that moment, I realised how important patience and perseverance are in helping a child reach their potential. It strengthened my commitment to supporting each child’s unique journey of growth and discovery.
What does a typical day look like for a preschool English teacher?
Kai Lin: A typical day in my role as a preschool English teacher is a dynamic blend of structured learning and spontaneous moments of wonder. Each morning, I warmly greet the children, setting the tone for a day filled with exploration and growth. Throughout the day, I craft engaging lessons tailored to the diverse learning styles and interests of my students. From interactive storytelling sessions to hands-on language activities, every moment is an opportunity to ignite curiosity and foster a love for learning.
How does outdoor play contribute to children’s learning?
Kai Lin: Outdoor play serves as a vibrant extension of the classroom, offering invaluable opportunities for holistic development. As children immerse themselves in nature’s playground, they engage their senses, refine their motor skills, and cultivate social bonds through collaborative play. Whether it’s exploring the wonders of the natural world or embarking on imaginative adventures, outdoor play nurtures creativity, resilience, and a profound appreciation for the world around them.

What advice do you have for aspiring preschool English teachers?
Kai Lin: My advice to aspiring preschool English teachers is to embrace the journey with an open heart and a steadfast commitment to each child’s individual growth. Approach each day with enthusiasm and empathy, recognising the transformative power of small moments of connection and discovery. Remember that teaching is as much about nurturing relationships as it is about imparting knowledge. By fostering a supportive and inclusive learning environment, you can inspire a lifelong love for learning in every child you encounter.
