    Over het programma

    Your primary role will be to provide additional support to the local teachers and caregivers at kindergartens and care centres.

    In Costa Rica, you will:

    • Focus on basic education
    • Plan fun activities that teach the children basic development skills
    • Assist with important day-to-day practical tasks to ensure the centres run smoothly

    Increase literacy and numeracy

    Reading, writing, and counting are essential skills. You’ll help children learn these skills, so they’re better equipped to cope with the demands of the first year when they start school. You’ll focus on those who are struggling by teaching literacy and numeracy to small groups.

    Contribute to early childhood development

    Fun activities that teach children basic skills are a fundamental aspect of a child’s development. By making your lessons entertaining, you’ll keep the children engaged in what they’re learning.

    You’ll help the teachers and caregivers organise:

    • Physical activities that encourage teamwork and the development of fundamental movement skills (like catching, throwing, and balance)
    • Music lessons that encourage creativity
    • Arts and crafts that teach the children about colours and shapes, and how to use their imagination

    Assist with day-to-day care centre tasks

    You’ll often be asked to assist the local staff with day-to-day duties such as serving food, washing up, and cleaning. This is essential to the daily running of the care centres.

    Dagelijkse activiteiten

    Your day will start with a traditional Costa Rican breakfast, enjoyed with your local host family. After this, you’ll catch a bus to the placement where you’ll be working. On your first day, our staff will accompany you on your work commute. They’ll ensure you’re comfortable and know your way around.

    A typical day will run from about 7 or 8 am to 5 pm, coinciding with kindergarten and daycare centre hours.

    Evenings and weekends are your free time to relax and explore with new friends. You can easily reach the impressive Poas and Irazu volcanoes on a day trip from Heredia. Elsewhere, numerous popular tourist destinations, such as Arenal volcano and Monteverde cloud forest, are only a few hours bus ride away.

The laid-back life of Costa Rica is infectious and you’ll find it hard to leave!

    Afhaal aan de luchthaven op Juan Santamaria International Airport

    Your arrival airport in Costa Rica will be Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) in San José. Our in-country staff will be there to greet you at the airport. They’ll be holding a Projects Abroad sign so you can spot them easily.

    From the airport, our staff will drive you to your accommodation. The drive will take around 30 to 40 minutes, depending on traffic and where your host family is located.

    Accomodatie

    You'll stay with a host family in Heredia. They will welcome you into their home, eager to share their customs and have you teach them about your own culture. We believe that this is the best way to immerse yourself in the culture of Costa Rica and have a truly unique experience.

    We will always try to let you live alongside at least one other Projects Abroad volunteer or intern at the same host family. Your room will be modest, but comfortable, clean, and safe. 


    Eten & Drank

    Your programme fee includes three meals a day. We can cater to special dietary requirements, such as any food allergies, vegan, vegetarian, kosher, etc.
