Your Impact
For primary schools and kindergartens in Ecuador, it’s not uncommon for class sizes to be large. As a Childcare volunteer, you can be a great help to local teachers as they manage the individual and collective needs of their classes. This extra support and assistance enables local teachers to focus on providing their students with the kind of quality early childhood education that makes a big difference to how children learn and develop.
Childcare volunteer work can vary but usually includes:
- Helping with lessons in math, reading, writing and art
- Providing valuable exposure to English
- Assisting at lunch and break times
- Interacting with students
