Job Posting: Full-Time Teacher/Administrator
Do you enjoy engaging with small children? Do you believe in the
importance of early childhood education? Do you value the community
that surrounds children as they grow and learn? You may be the perfect
fit for Juneau Cooperative Preschool (JCP), and we would love to talk to
you!
We are seeking a caring, enthusiastic, and dedicated full-time
Teacher/Administrator to join our team!
About JCP and our Philosophy:
Our goal is to create a safe, positive and accepting environment where adults and children learn
together. We believe it is enriching for families to be in the classroom learning and participating
with their children. We encourage our children to think for themselves, solve problems, ask
questions and find out what they really care about. Our preschoolers learn these skills in a
nurturing environment through dramatic play, block building, and taking time to solve problems
when they arise. They do this by investigating, planning, making mistakes, discussing their ideas
with other children and adults, hearing good stories and songs, as well as playing with paint, sand,
wood, and water, and spending time observing plants, animals, natural phenomena, and exploring
the outdoors.
JCP is a licensed childcare center that operates during the traditional school year (summers off!).
For the 2024-25 school year, we expect to offer a M-F, 9am-12pm program. This position has a lot
of flexibility outside of the set teaching times. Additional weekend hours (such as Sunday set up)
may be required from time to time. Our main goal is to find the right fit!
Responsibilities:

from previous years) and activities to provide enriching skill development for students,

Philosophies, and with the safety and growth of the children in mind.
