Description, Responsibilities, & Duties

Our Program for Young Children serves Two Year Olds, Preschool (three year olds), and Prekindergarten (four year olds). Early literacy, mathematics, science, and social studies are designed to be learned in an interdisciplinary way that honors how young children naturally explore and make sense of their world. Social-emotional learning and development, along with the values of inclusion and diversity, are hallmarks of our school. This constructivist, Reggio Emilia-inspired educational environment enables students to forge their own learning paths.

We are accepting applicants for exceptional early childhood teachers with a sound understanding of best practices in teaching and child development, experience in Reggio-inspired programs and with two year olds in anticipation of openings for a lead teacher, assistant, or support staff. The ideal candidate for lead positions will have an early childhood degree (Bachelor’s or Master’s) and at least three years of teaching experience. Assistant candidates should have 90 hours of child development at a minimum, with priority given to those with early childhood degrees and/or experience in Reggio Emilia influenced settings.
