Work / English childcare in Poland? Other work opportunities? [6]

Thanks Atch, I had not heard of Helen Doron but it sounds interesting, and very suited to what I am looking for. Rest assured, I am accustomed to lesson planning out of school hours ;) typical in a professional childcare/school setting (at least from what I have heard and experienced). I will see if this leads to anything! I would prefer to take a route that doesn't cost me a few thousand zloty first, but it's good to know what steps I would have to take if I decided to go for the TEFL training and teacher's cert later on.

Work / English childcare in Poland? Other work opportunities? [6]

Thanks for your response! I'm not currently living in Canada, I am in the UK, and I am quite determined to move to Poland (not just "thinking" of it) as my boyfriend is returning to Poland for work.

Another possibility is teaching English, whether it is with young children or adults.

Work / English childcare in Poland? Other work opportunities? [6]

Hi everyone! I have been looking, and looking... and looking, to find employment opportunities in Poland - my main concern is that my education and experience is almost solely in the field of childcare. I am from Canada and studied Early Childhood Education, worked with a Catholic school board for three years and have now moved to the UK as an au pair. A friend of mine from Czech Republic told me that in her village they have an "English" daycare centre, where parents send their kids a few days of the week to be immersed in the English language. Does this type of centre exist in Poland?

I will gladly accept all help, be it finding work in childcare... or other fields that I could actually get hired in - my boyfriend suggests working in an English company, a company dealing with Canadian clients, or even as a recruiter. I just don't know how likely it would be that they would hire me without the experience.
