Job Description:

We are in search of a Teacher, who wants to have a blast while impacting and changing the lives of our future!

Are you willing to look ridiculous to make kids laugh? Are you willing to sing the same song (in or out of tune) and read the same book 20 times in one day? Can you handle a child crawling all over you while you're reading a book to 8 other kids? Do you love getting hugs all day long, getting a Dr. exam 5 times in 20 minutes, getting your hair done and changing diapers of imaginary friends? Do you love hats? This job requires wearing many. Do you speak several different toddler languages? Can you read between the lines of a meltdown to figure out who did what? Do you have eyes on all sides of your head? Are you prepared to handle the brutal honesty of children and to learn more about children and their families than you ever thought was possible? Most importantly, are you prepared to be loved unconditionally (by children and co-workers), laugh constantly, be a part of a family and most of all love coming to work every day despite the challenges?

If you answered yes to the above questions, this job is perfect for you. Please apply. There are not many out there that can honestly answer yes to all of the above!

To be happy here you must share the same core values as us. We live and breathe:

1. Creativity and out of the box thinking. No boring black and white ideas here!
2. Fun. Fun. Fun: You must be fun to work here. If you're not having fun neither are the children.
3. Being approachable: If parents can’t approach you, they will never trust you with their child.
4. Have a burning desire to be lifelong learners and to imagine, inspire and explore.

What makes us so cool?

1. Small classrooms and ratios
2. Parent communication App “Brightwheel”
3. Focus on sustainability and mindfulness about the earth (recycling/composting/gardening)
4. Outdoor classroom
5. Family owned and operated
6. Attention focused on guiding children in learning how to identify/control their emotions

The ideal candidate will:

1. Chuckle and smile throughout reading this posting
2. Be excited to come to work every day and create an amazing experience for these kiddos
3. Be able to pass a DCFS background check and all other DCFS requirements for the position
4. Love, love, love children. If you don't love children, no need to apply. We can’t teach that.
