We are a small, nature and community oriented program based in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. We are currently looking for an Assistant Teacher with Reggio-Emilia experience. For the past two years our program has provided care to a group of up to 12 children, aged 20 months to 4 years. We focused on child-lead interactions and open ended activities with lots of outdoor exploration.
Early childhood classroom experience is a must. It is important that you be a "natural" with children, quick to learn, and willing to grow in our setting. We are looking for someone who is quick on their feet and always thinking ahead for the safety of the children. Our ideal candidate is reliable, organized, communicative, prompt, and thorough when it comes to tidying and cleaning the space and caring for the children. We have only 12 children and three teachers present daily, and we truly have such a joyful time together. Please visit our website to see if you might be a good fit for our school and get in touch to learn more.
