Alternative Preschool Seeks Assistant Teacher

Wildflowers Playschool, a small, play-based, child-centered preschool based out of Putney Vermont is looking for a part-time assistant teacher to join us for our fun-filled 2015-2016 school year. The position is for approximately 21 hrs a week, Mon-Thursdays. School breaks off. There is a 1 hr a week teacher meeting once a week and some outside planning time expected. The position starts September 14th 2015

We are looking for someone who is reliable, patient, intuitive, fun, loves children, is interested in alternative education, and enjoys celebrating arts, movement and music with children.

The pay is $11/hr for the 130-day school year, including 3-paid sick/personal days, and in addition some money towards professional development. 

First Aid/CPR training is required. Some knowledge of alternative education models is preferred, but an eagerness to learn is wonderful. Education majors preferred but not necessary. Preferred that you have already taken Child Development but if you have not it must be taken in the Fall for us to align with state requirements. This is an opportunity for someone who wants to see the beauty of child-directed learning.
