I have been offered a job teaching at a kindergarden. To my knowledge it is illegal for foreigners to teach young children (right?). This would be my first job teaching English and I am not sure if I should look for something else. I have an interview tomorrow and they mentioned a contract for one semester. What should I do?
Thank you
EDIT: The lady asked if it was ok that the kids might puke on me :help:
Ask them what kind of license they have.

I would say strictly speaking, no, but bear in mind the following:
-
It seems that the Ministry of Education say it is.
-
It is illegal to teach immersion English to children under 6 (or maybe it’s 6 and under?)
-
You can not get a work permit to teach kindergarten - if a kindergarten gives you a work permit, that means they’re either illegally registered as a buxiban, their buxiban department is illegally loaning you out to their kindergarten department or the work permit actually has you illegally registered with a different branch or school.
-
You need a work permit from the MOE to teach legally, unless you are married to a Taiwansese (and have a JFRV visa) or have Permanent Residency.
