This is for our 3 year-olds. We need people who like a fast-paced environment and who love learning. If you have a teaching degree, awesome. If you have three-plus years of experience as a teacher in a daycare and no teaching degree, also awesome. Our center is curriculum-focused and we put great value on family building and support. We strive for excellence in ensuring our students are kindergarten ready. Our hours are 7am-6pm Monday-Friday. You will have an 8 hour shift within that time frame. To effectively fill this position, you need to bring genuine care and concern for your students' well-being and academic progress. What we do and our beliefs The missions of the Little Scholars Development Center is to provide safe, affordable, high quality childcare for the working family. We provide a comfortable and safe environment where children are encouraged to develop at their own pace, while preparing them for kindergarten. Through student observation and family partnerships, we create individualized curriculum based on the students learning style and social-emotional needs. In doing so, we nurture the creation of a solid academic and social-emotional foundation; it is this foundation that is the first step in ensuring our students' academic success in the future. Our Philosophy Quality childcare is accomplished by engaging a child through listening, exemplification, respecting, and understanding their world view. It is our belief that only then, can we help them to expand and explore their view. A childcare provider must commit to exemplifying behavior that is reflective of the behavior that we wish to see in our students, as well as effectively guiding them in a manner that develops the whole child's mind, body, and soul. A provider must offer the nurturing touch of a loved one and the educational support of a teacher. Our Cultural Awareness Philosophy Cultural Awareness should be an integral part of the childcare experience. A child should have the opportunity to see, hear and experience various cultures. In doing so, we set the stage for this generation to function with less blinding stereotypes when it comes to people and customs that do not reflect their own. Our Curriculum Philosophy At Little Scholars, we strive to create curriculum that is holistic in its approach to building the necessary skills to learn, retain and implement what is being taught on a day-to-day basis. We believe that curriculum should be designed to meet the individual need of the student. Curriculum should have a solid academic foundation in preparation for kindergarten. It is our belief that education is something that should be experienced rather than just received through lecture or book. A child's personal learning style, large and small group activities are all part of what we consider when creating our daily curriculum.
