Our mission is providing families, children and staff a learning community in which all participants develop through observation, inquiry, reflection and documentation. We create an intentional environment where each participant is respected as a responsible contributing member in our community. We see the participants as co-researchers, co-learners and collaborators in the building of our community.
Wander In Wonder is hiring full-time Support Teachers to join our team of early childhood professionals.
Our location has five classrooms, and we serve children ages 6 weeks old - 6 years old and their families. We are located in SE Portland, Oregon on the Reed College campus. We have full access to the campus including the beautiful nature canyon.
We are guided by a combination of philosophies and practices, including RIE (Resources for Infant Educarers), Reggio Emilia, PBIS, and Social-Constructivism. We are passionate about connecting children with natural environments, social justice, and anti-bias education.
Our environment is supportive, welcoming and brings many opportunities to grow in the field. Many of our support teachers later become classroom teachers!
