After speaking with another Teach Away teacher I am considering taking a teaching job over seas in the summer of 2017.  We have two children who will be 3.5 and 1.5 then... any tips on preschools?  I'm sure it depends on the area, but right now we are mainly looking at Abu Dhabi. 

Thanks for any and all help!

    Hi Carrie:

    Welcome to the forum and it is great news that you are ready to take your career abroad! I would recommend you to have a look at this blog post : https://www.teachaway.com/2014/03/12/teach-away-faq-column-dependents-special and do keep in mind that your placement coordinator can also answer some questions or concerns that you might have about taking your children abroad.

    Good luck with your application

    Hi, I'm Amoy, I'm in the same boat in terms of moving my family abroad. How difficult is it to secure a teaching position with dependents? I am really concerned about getting them enrolled in schools in my teaching location. I hear that Abu Dhabi, Dubai, are great locations to start. Any suggestions?
