WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We are looking for full-time teachers and interns (English-speaking and German-speaking) for OuNa, our new outdoor & nature kindergarten in Larnaka (Cyprus). If you have proven experience of working with kids (for teachers) and enjoy working in nature, you are very welcome to join our team!

WHO WE ARE

At our kindergarten the primary focus is on outdoor activities, aligning with our values of connecting to and respecting nature. We pay particular attention to learning how to treat nature properly, i.e. using natural resources smartly, recycling, protecting nature and general knowledge on how nature works. This is a place where children grow up with respect and learn to respect each other; they learn how to work as an individual and as part of a team; how to communicate with classmates; how to help and to ask for help; how to control oneself and much more.

For these purposes we have created a unique curriculum combining the very best practices of internationally recognised programmes like: Te Whariki from New Zealand, Reggio from Italy and the best practices of Scandinavian education. OuNa is a bilingual kindergarten (English and German). Classes of max 16 children are cared for by 2 teachers, one of each language. We accept kids of 2-4 years old.
