HEI Schools Udon Thani is looking for an experienced, passionate Kindergarten Teacher to join our growing team.
We are looking for an educator who understands young children, knows how children learn, and can create a warm, engaging environment where children feel safe, curious, confident and excited to come to school.
If you have several years of experience working with young children, know how to manage children aged 1.5-6 and are looking for a school where your professional knowledge and ideas are genuinely valued, we would love to hear from you.
As a Kindergarten Lead Teacher, you will be responsible for creating and delivering meaningful learning experiences for young children within our play-based, child-centered approach.
Your responsibilities will include:
• Planning and implementing engaging learning experiences appropriate for young children, creating a positive, nurturing and well-organized classroom environment
• Supporting children's social, emotional, cognitive and physical development
• Observing children closely and using observations to guide individual learning and supporting each child’s individual social, emotional, cognitive and physical development
• Differentiating activities according to individual children's needs and interests
• Communicating professionally with parents about children's development and learning and building strong, respectful relationships with children and families
• Working collaboratively with colleagues to plan and develop the learning environment, contributing ideas and expertise to the ongoing development of our school and curriculum
• Supporting and contributing to a positive professional culture within the team
We are particularly interested in teachers who have:
• At least 3 years of teaching experience in kindergarten or early years education (we are not looking for a subject teacher)
• Clear and strong spoken and written English
• A genuine understanding of early childhood development
• Experience with play-based or child-centered learning and teaching early reading skills through phonics
• Strong classroom management skills based on positive relationships
• The ability to plan independently and adapt when things don't go according to plan
• Excellent observation and communication skills
• A professional attitude and strong sense of responsibility
• The confidence to contribute ideas, ask questions and share professional knowledge
• A genuine interest in working with young children
A Bachelor's degree in Education, Early Childhood Education or a related field is highly desirable. International school experience and additional teaching qualifications are an advantage.
Salary & Benefits
• Salary based on qualifications and experience
• Group Medical Insurance
• Visa & Work permit provided
• HEI Training and Professional Development

Please mention that you found the job on Teast for the school's reference.
📌 Please review the requirements to teach English in Thailand before you start applying for teaching positions. If the job post specifies "NES" or "Native English Speaker", it typically means applicants are required to be from one of the following countries: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, or South Africa. However, in some cases, this may indicate a preference rather than a strict requirement.
⏳ Due to the high number of applications the schools receive they may not be able to respond to every application. If you don't hear back from them within a week or so, it's best to move on to the next job.
⚠️ Watch out for agencies that charge fees or take a cut of your salary. Good agencies get paid by the schools - not by taking money from you. If you’re not sure how they make money, just ask. If they say they take a percentage, that’s a red flag - avoid them and let us know so we can ban them from the site. Unlike other job boards that allow these kinds of agencies to advertise at your expense, we don’t - we’ve already banned several to stop teachers from being underpaid or exploited.
⚠️ When applying for jobs, you should NEVER have to pay to apply. You should also NEVER have to pay to buy anything which they then pay you back for later. NEVER PAY FOR ANYTHING! Also always verify you're actually talking to the company in the job post and not an imposter. Scams in TEFL are rampant, be careful!
