Early Childhood Educational Consultant, All Our Kin New York City, NY

Description:

All Our Kin, Inc., a nationally-recognized, Connecticut-based nonprofit organization that trains, supports,

and sustains community child care providers to ensure that children and families have the foundation

they need to succeed in school and in life, seeks an Early Childhood Educational Consultant to provide

mentoring, coaching, training, technical assistance and support to family child care providers in the New

York City area.

All Our Kin first opened its doors in a New Haven housing development in 1999 with two staff members,

six mothers, six children, and one core belief: all children deserve access to high-quality early learning

opportunities. As Connecticut has explored ways to sustain high-quality child care in a time of great

economic hardship, communities and agencies throughout the state have sought to learn from and build

on All Our Kin’s best practices. In response to this demand, All Our Kin expanded beyond New Haven,

and is currently serving providers in Bridgeport, Norwalk, and Stamford; and is in the process of

expanding into New York City. Today, we serve over 400 family child care providers; these parents and

educators in turn serve over 2,400 children in our community. To learn more about our work, please

The Educational Consultant is supervised by the New York Network Director. We are searching for an

enthusiastic team player who wants to make an impact and is excited about being a part of an effective,

growing and dynamic non-profit organization. We offer competitive salary and benefits, a flexible

schedule, and the opportunity to work with a team of skilled and motivated professionals.
