Kindergarten teachers’ first year of internship is typically even more intense than that of schoolteachers. The challenges faced often become more complicated and difficult for those novice kindergarten teachers who are people of color and/or members of other minority groups, such as Ethiopian-descended Israelis. The aim of this study is to examine the perceptions of Ethiopian-descended Israeli kindergarten teachers regarding their experience job searching and their first year of work in the field. Nine such novice kindergarten teachers were interviewed for this purpose. The interviews were analyzed by using a qualitative-phenomenological method. The findings revealed instances of implicit racism from team members, supervisors and students’ parents, as well as interviewees’ coping methods and their sense of purpose and achievement in dismantling racist stereotypes. These findings necessitate a re-examination of the needs of Ethiopian-descended kindergarten teacher in the job search stage and in their early years of teaching, as well as relevant adaptations to the training and mentoring programs available, in order to enable these teachers’ successful integration into and retention within the education system.
