Additional Information:
Treehouse Children's School in Norwich, VT is hiring lead early childhood teachers for our toddler program. We are home to five early childhood classrooms that serve children ages six weeks to five years old. Inspired by the world-renowned schools in Reggio Emilia, Italy, our teachers work in collaborative teams to provide the highest quality early childhood education and care.
Responsibilities: Work collaboratively with a fellow lead teacher and “across” teams with all educators in our school. Take children on explorations on our beautiful wooded property, engage with science educators from our next-door neighbor the Montshire Museum of Science, design art explorations in our designated atelier, an in-house art studio. Facilitate a Reggio-inspired program propelled by students’ curiosity and interests. Reflect with colleagues on children’s learning to plan next steps, and create thought-provoking documentation to share with parents, colleagues and students too.
Qualified candidates have a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education or related field and a minimum of one to two years of working with young children. You should be familiar with NAEYC standards, VT Early Learning Standards (VELS), and the Reggio Emilia approach. You are committed to growing and learning alongside children, colleagues and parents. Ideally, you have experience planning fascinating “provocations” and documenting children's thinking and learning. If not, we offer coaching to bring new hires up to speed.
