he said some crazy stories about teaching 2 year olds

The vast majority of 2 year olds do not have the social, emotional or cognitive development to handle a classroom environment particularly an ESL style environment. However, it is increasingly common for training schools to offer pre-school classes (2-4years old), primarily because they can get parents to pay for them. I've even heard of some training centres trying to teach 2hour classes to groups of 3 year olds - stay well away from anywhere that displays such an obvious lack of understanding in regards education, it's likely to be just the tip of the iceberg!

As a teacher considering working in a place that offers pre-school classes i think it's best to ask yourself the following questions

1. Do i really want to teach kids of this age group? This age group is going to be a bit like marmite - you either love it or you hate it!

2. Do i have the relevant qualifications/experience to teach this age group? CELTAs, TESOLs, etc. are all sound qualifications that many ESL teachers have. However, they are aimed at teaching adults. While a lot of the skills from these courses can be transfered to young learner classes (6-12 years old), teaching pre-school students is much, much different. To quote Sir Ken Robinson "a 3 year old is not half a 6 year old".

3. What training/support will the school give to you for this age group? Again, it's very different from teaching "kids". If the school won't admit that in the first place then they have already failed you and the students.
