Abstract	Appropriate training, proven experience, and love for the kids, are the most important requirements for teachers who teach English at the level of kindergarten classrooms in any of such schools. At "Happy Kids Learning Center" (in the inner Dominican City of Bonao) that pre-requisite is not the exception. The present study examines the internal evaluation processes of English methodology applied by kindergarten teachers. The subjects were four English teachers and three kindergarten classrooms, where children aged from three to five in the above mentioned bilingual private school. The duration of the intervention was of four weeks, with a fifteen-day session for observing and also taking part of the English classes. The main methodology was a qualitative study; and quantitative data was used in order to receive the objective support, thus sharing with students and teachers as well. The results of this brief study showed that, even Young-trained teachers are able to teach in kindergarten schools while still studying to become professional teachers at the Bachelor's Degree Program of the local branch of the state college (UASD University), if the love for children are among their human qualities for teaching this singular and demanding level.
