Founded in 1969, the Winston Prouty Center provides inclusive education and support to promote the success of children and families. Our 5-STAR Early Learning Center (ELC) is licensed to serve 55 children ages 6 weeks – 5 years.

The ELC is an inclusive program influenced by research and leading models in the field of early education, including Reggio Emilia, RIE, the Pyramid Model, Touchpoints, and others. Our program uses an Emergent Curriculum model. In all that we do, we aspire to offer joyful, reflective, respectful, responsive, relationship-based early care and education.

We are seeking a part-time Afternoon Infant/Toddler Teacher to join our team. The hours for this position are Monday – Friday, 11:15 am to 4:45 pm.

General Responsibilities

• Support students through every aspect of their afternoon, including lunch time, rest/nap time, bathroom, inside play, and outside play
• As part of the aftercare team of teachers, be responsible for aftercare students of all classroom ages (infant – 5)
• Maintain a clean classroom and aftercare space
• Cover breaks/absences in other classrooms as necessary

Qualifications

• A high school diploma
• Fundamentals in Early Childhood Education or 3 college credits in child development must be completed within one year of employment
• Experience with young children preferred

A willingness to learn about and grow into a deeper understanding of the Reggio Emilia philosophy and approach to early care and education care is required. Candidates who have experience with Reggio Emilia, Emergent Curriculum, Waldorf, Montessori, or RIE are strongly encouraged to apply.

Location

Our center is part of a vibrant campus with multiple playgrounds, outdoor classroom spaces and over 100 acres of forest, fields and walking trails. Together, teachers and children maintain a large vegetable, fruit, and flower garden as part of our Farm to School initiative.

Philosophy

We regard children as capable, strong, and autonomous. We believe that they are observers who approach the world with curiosity and a desire to learn. We believe in their capacity to be problem-solvers who can think creatively and work collaboratively. We believe that children, like all of us, are seeking to find ways to belong, and need time and space to express their emotions. We strive to create a joyful, predictable, caring, and authentic environment, in which they can explore, learn, and grow fully into the unique, important, valuable individuals that they are.

To apply, please send a resume and cover letter to lydia@winstonprouty.org.
