    We are international kindergarten which is founded by Ms Amy B who has had spent almost 15 years in the U.S. Her goal going to the U.S. was to finish her Master’s Degree in a couple of years but ending up spend time from 2001-2015 in the golden beautiful state, California. She finished her MSPA in 2005 at California State University, Los Angeles and now she is working on her Ph.D. in Education Administration Thailand.
    We are located 1-hour flight from the capital of Thailand, Bangkok.
    Thiss one of the most ancient cities in the entire country of Thailand. The history of this town can be dated back to over 3,000 years. The town and its nearby locations are filled with many remarkable spots, which attract travelers from around the world, year round.
    The town is well known for its Buddhist culture and its main five Buddhist stupas. Apart from centuries old Buddhist temples and monasteries, there are various beautiful places that will completely amaze you with their natural beauty. The major attractions of here, mentioned here, will surely guarantee a great trip.
    In October, you don’t want miss the Wax Castle Parade and the Long Boat Race. This is a beautiful festival, in which various communities from around the province get involved and spend a significant amount of money and time in constructing large Buddhist temples or monasteries out of wax. Then, during the time of the parade, these large, extraordinary models are loaded into trailers for a procession, for all to see.
    here, it is a Phu Phan National Park located approximately 30-min drive from town offers diverse species of animals. Also, there is Phuphan Rajchanivat Palace where the late Rama9 king always visited and stayed.
    School vision is :
    E: English as a foreign language

    Workawayer will benefit from culture exchange while staying with you and how they can expect to learn from their experience
    We are hoping that a workawayer will learn a lot from our kids as we do each and everyday. Kids can surprise us all, mostly in a good way. Also, we are hoping that you can share your experiences with all teachers here so that they can adjust some of your classroom activity experiences for the kids here.

    We are the only place in town that offers Bilingual program for kids starting at 1.5 years old. We are teaching them not by memorizing or worksheet. We are teaching kids english as a whole language through songs, dance, gesture and flashcards. And the most important unique aspect of us is the small size class, for example, K2 consists of only 11 kids.
    We are the only private school here in town that offers Montessori perspective for kids in which helps them in several ways such as their abilities to focus, to wait and to respect themselves and others as well as the environment.

    We are hoping to expand our culture and a way of life to the workawayer through food, sightseeing and people. There is world famous fabric named “Kram” which is now sold around the world but it’s actually made here in our town. This fabric can be handmade only. When you touch it, it’d give the thickened feeling but when you wear them, you’d feel the breeze, nice and soft.
    First of all, the language. Second is the different culture. And of course, the kids will enjoy your company very much.
    so that workaway have a clear idea of what they will be doing.
    In one classroom, there are always 2 Thai teachers and there is English hour when one of our foreign teachers will come in the class and teach them English.The workawayer will be accomdating one of our foreign teachers in classrooms, hanging out with kids, singing to them, talking to them which should be between 3-4 hours each day. As it’s our key belief that kids can learn more and develop their english skills more by spending time with foreiner than we teach them in the classroom only. Therefore, most of the time, there will be 4 teachers including the workawayer teaching or helping the kids. There are also the activities each week, for example, cooking, planting, that workawayer would be able to guide the kids how to do each activities and helping them improving their English skills at the same time.
