About Us:
The Early Childhood Program—instituted in the early 1960s—offers an extensive selection of courses for introducing small groups of young children and their families to the joys of music and art. By engaging in developmentally appropriate group music experiences (listening, singing, moving, playing percussion instruments, responding to, and creating music), students build the foundation for a comprehensive music education and acquire the tools to express themselves artistically. Key to the Diller-Quaile approach is the collaboration among teachers and students, which creates a unique child-centered musical environment within each class session.

- Lead and/or assist the class
- Create and sustain an educational and nurturing environment which fosters the development of artistry in every student.
- Develop and write short and long-term, developmentally appropriate class plans, which evolve from the School’s mission, curriculum, and progressive music/art objectives.
- Foster and nurture group cohesion; working effectively with parents/adults & teaching teams.
- Act as a liaison between the School and class participants.
Qualifications:
- BA, BFA, BVA, or MFA
- Strong understanding of early childhood development and learning principles.
- Ability to create and adapt activities & lessons
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
- Patience, enthusiasm, and a genuine love for working with children.
What We Offer:
- A supportive and collaborative work environment.
- Opportunities for professional development and growth with a community of working musicians & artists.
- The chance to make a positive impact on young children's lives.
