Preschool Teacher

Collaborate with a team of two other teachers to offer a high quality early education experience to seventeen preschoolers in the 26/27 school year starting in late August. Our two-classroom program emphasizes learning through play, learning in nature, and developing the strong social-emotional skills that will underlie later academic success. Teachers develop curriculum based upon children's interests, often incorporating open-ended materials to spark investigations. We spend much of each day outdoors exploring the natural settings of Lars Anderson Park. Keen observational skills, a passion for working with young children, the ability to write well, a love of being outdoors in all kinds of weather, and a commitment to continued learning are the qualities we most value. Ten month, school year calendar (3 weeks vacation plus holidays!), and 2 weeks of summer work in July. Health and dental insurance. Teachers usually rotate the opening, midday, and closing shifts between our hours of operation, 7:15 - 5:00. DEEC Preschool teacher certification helpful.
