We are a small, private program located in the Altadena area of greater Los Angeles.
Our program currently serves 14 children in total11 preschool aged children between 2-5 and 3 toddlers between 12 and 16 months of age.
We are specifically looking for a teacher to work with the 3 toddlers on a day to day basis.
We are primarily an outdoor program that thinks outside the box when it comes to Early Childhood Education and are looking to redefine what quality programming can look like in a system that is increasingly moving away from true play based learning in favor of assessment chasing goals and harmful academic pressure.
Flexibility of mind, levelheadedness, and a playful disposition are non negotiable in applicants. Dazzling communication skills and a sunny countenance would be icing on the cake (grin).
We are strong advocates for increased living wages in the field of Early Childhood Education, but please note this is an entry level position in a new small business and the beginning hourly rate lies between $17 and $20 per hour depending on qualifications. There is opportunity for growth in the future, but we understand the extreme cost of living in California and want to be transparent in regards to the current salary limitations.
When replying please provide background information relevant to the field and any other qualifications such as first aid\cpr trainings.
