Each school has the same structure. The team leader supervises all teachers and assistants. He/She is responsible for making sure that the day runs smoothly, the implementation of the syllabus and the strict following of the guidelines and rules. Furthermore, a Supervisor and the Educational Advisors have the overall supervision.

Little Star Day School has an international character due to the teachers being from all around the world. All of them have a lot of experience and, of course, a proper diploma in child care and preschool teaching. Furthermore, our teachers are first-aid certified (for babies and children) so they can help where help is needed. Regular seminars and workshops help our teachers be the best - Always.

And: Working with children is not a job for them - it's a passion.
