Reggio Inspired Pre-School seeks quality educator. Riverfield Country Day School is actively recruiting a dynamic, collaborative, creative, and talented teacher for a full-time Pre-School educator for the 2023-2024 school year. Nestled on 120 acres in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Riverfield has been inspired by the Reggio Emilia Approach to early childhood education and is in continuing dialogue with the educators in Reggio Emilia, Italy, and other Reggio-inspired schools throughout the United States. Riverfield is an independent school, licensed and accredited by ISAS and NAEYC. Building relationships is the foundation of our work. We place a strong emphasis on the bonds between children and teachers, teachers and parents, and the children themselves. Offering high-quality, engaging educational, and project-based experiences for children 8 weeks through 12th grade, Riverfield holds a strong image of the child, as capable, confident learners. Working as team teachers, educators partner with children at Riverfield to create a respectful, nurturing, and intellectually inspiring learning environment, where children develop a life-long confidence and love for learning, and build connected networks of knowledge and understanding. Educators work together to support children’s social-emotional, cognitive, and physical development, and bring visibility to the thinking and learning of young children. Experience in early childhood education is preferred, but not required.
