• A minimum of 2 years experience working with children aged 12 months to 6 years
• Genuine warmth, patience, and a deep love for young children
• Strong observational skills and the ability to follow the child

Our ideal candidate is someone who…

Believes that the prepared environment is the teacher. Who can sit quietly and observe a child working and resist the urge to interrupt. Who understands that a child completing a task independently is more powerful than any lesson. Who brings warmth and consistency to every morning. Who sees this role as a vocation, not just a job.
