本日、本園で勤務を希望される方々を対象に採用面接を行いました。新規開園に向けてゼロからの園を共に作り上げていく仲間として、たくさんの方に来ていただくことができました!
現在保育士不足が深刻で、ただでさえ人材を集めるのが難しい状況です。
ところが、今日来ていただいた方々はどなたも素晴らしい方々ばかり!新卒の方々は、平成10年生まれ(!)とは思えぬしっかりとした受け答えで、自分の考えをはっきりと話してくれました。経験者の方々は、今までの経験を生かしつつ英語や国際教育を取り入れた新たな保育に挑戦したいという意欲にあふれていました。この方たちと共に園を作りあげていけたら、きっといい保育・教育ができるだろうなぁとわくわくしてきました!
ある方によると、これだけいい方々に集まってきていただけるのは、「つきのひかり国際保育園」に「ツキ」があるからとのことです(笑)!
保育に関係する方々が皆さん言われるには、学歴や保育の技術よりも、大切なのは子どもたちのことを第一に考え、誰とでも協調して働くことのできるその人自身の人間性とのことです。素晴らしい人間性をもった先生方とのご縁に感謝しつつ、子どもたちのために最高の園を目指すだけでなく、働く職員の方々にとっても最高と思ってもらえるような園づくりに精進していきたいと強く思った一日でした!
Today, we had our first job interview with applicants who are intereseted in working at our preschool from the next academic year. There were many teachers from different backgrounds, who wanted to be part of the first group of dedicated teaching staff to go on record as pioneers.
Currently, the lack of nursery school teachers in the country is a serious problem. However, there were a lot of experienced and professional teachers, who applied for the interview. The new graduates who applied for the interview, have just turned 20, and considering their age, they did a great job in answering all the questions posed by the panelists. The experienced and professional teachers who came for the interview, wish to take on new challenges in their educational career by bringing on board their rich experience in teaching learners. I felt so excited and grateful to be at the helm of affairs in the interview and screening process of applicants for the start of our new institution.
Part of the name of the preschool includes the word, “moon”. The moon, in Japanese is “tsuki”, which can also mean lucky. Maybe this is why we were so fortunate to meet these great teachers!
Many people are of the view that the personality of a person and their respect for humanity counts a lot when working together. I totally agree and hope to have the very best teachers on my team to nurture children to reach their greatest potentials. Therefore, our school will strive for excellence in order to become the best model of preschool, not only for educating young learners, but also a fertile ground for educators, teaching and non-teaching staff who wish to work in a conducive environment, here at Moonlight International Preschool. Kindly wish us luck!
