Great job in Japan:

HELLO is looking for a highly motivated and committed teacher of conversational English to both adults and children in Japan.
HELLO is a small school with about 120 students raging from 0 to 65 years old. We even have a class with 0-yaer-olds and their mothers.
We are now eager to develop our kids program starting from when they are 0 year old. Pre-school styled program has pre-schoolers exposed to English for all morning.
We also would like to reform our adult classes to attract more adult students.
We appreciate our teachers are very honest,hard-working, happy, fun, cheerful, and creative with any age groups of students.
We are very much looking forward to working with a wonderful co-worker who can enjoy devoting her/himself to creat the best school( amusement park with the best education) in the world !!

Has anyone ever taught 0 year olds? What do you teach them?
They seem to have difficulty attracting adults to adult classes... perhaps due to the amusement park education system and the raging students?

Don't all rush at once.

Yes - you get the mother-to-be to lie down and get comfortable. You sit by her side. She places her hands over the unborn child and says: "Repeat after me.....1, 2, 3 or A, B, C".
You are there to correct any pronunciation problems she may have. This way the unborn child gets the vibrations and tones of its mother's voice in the correct [whatever] language

I've known Asians to push their children, but this is a bit much. Laughing

Yes, seems you're not even safe in the womb anymore. Confused

I think its refering to a common childcare situation whereby the mother returns to the workforce a few months after giving birth, or the bank takes the house back. A child turns one after 12 months, but you know that, didn't you? And anyone who thinks children don't learn from their earliest minutes is clearly childless.

Change their diapers while swearing in English about how disgusting babies are.

Teachers who work with infants teach common sense such as cause and effect and just help them to develop better gross motor and fine motor skills. It's a lot of work with infants but they learn a lot of new words if the environment they are in is rich in langauge so talking to them a lot is a big part of your job. They may not understand what your saying sometimes but that's how they learn. I definitely had fun working with babies though but they are not for everyone.

Ah, I remember being 0: The carefree days, no work, no pressure, free food, always warm and moisturized, interesting scenery, relative quiet...
