Summer Substitute Early Childhood Educator

Beaver Brook Children's School is now hiring a new team member to join us as a substitute educator for our toddler childcare program, our preschool summer camp, and our school age summer camp. Having a responsible, reliable individual who is able to work with all ages 1-8 years would be a huge asset to our program this summer as we prepare for an expansion and a new meal program! At least 1 year of professional experience working with young children is required, but there is not an education requirement. Must be able to work in a team, communicate openly and professionally, and act responsibly around children. Substitute candidates should be available at least a few regular weekdays in June, July, and August. A regular part time summer schedule may be available. Opportunities for continued part time or full time work into the 2026-2027 school year may also be available to the right candidate. The Beaver Brook Children's School is a non-profit childcare and preschool program located in the Old School Community Center in Wilmington, Vermont. We are outside for much of the day and root our teaching philosophies in respect for our world, connections to our community, and experiences in nature. The center is adjacent to the Beaver Brook, Buzzy Park, Baker Field, and the Beaver Brook trail, and just a few blocks to the local library, police, fire station, and town forest.
