Urgently Hiring

Katherine Michiels School is in our 5th decade at the forefront of child-centered EDUCATION, and we love what we do. In the heart of the Mission District, in a stunning multi-story Victorian with our own surrounding outdoor space including garden, maker shed, teaching kitchen, dance studio and more. We enter every day with joy and a spirit of exploration. We strive to learn deeply about ourselves, our community, and our world, and we explore these with each other in a spirit of co-creation, equity, and joyful inquiry.

TEACHER FOR INFANT/TODDLER PROGRAM

The Katherine Michiels School (KMS) Infant/Toddler program is looking for a bright, energetic part time Teacher Aid for our progressive INFANT/TODDLER PROGRAM of 15 children (which is strongly influenced by the Reggio-Emilia model) who will work cooperatively with the preschool program.

KMS's program provides a safe and nurturing environment for children between the ages of 3 months to 2 years, supervised by highly qualified teachers.
