Job Description
We welcome applicants who are eager to join First Pres, a school that serves children from 3 months to 5 years. At First Pres you will join a teaching team that implements a play based, outdoor classroom with a foundation of continuity of care. The majority of our teachers have been with us for over decade. Join us to experience a fun and important job that supports our community. We welcome those new to teaching as well as veteran teachers.
We have a unique program of expanded continuity of care. Teachers start with a group of infants and move up through the program with the class each year. Teachers love getting to stay with their babies year to year and the benefit of not having to start over each year with a whole new class. Our center is a mid-sized center with 80 children and 25 teachers. Our ratios are 1:3 for infants, 1:4 for toddlers, 1:6 for young preschool and 1:8 for older preschool. We have the ability to support each other and cover absences without being too big. Every classroom has prep and professional development time. Our staff meetings are scheduled during business hours (no night or weekend time!) We provide on-campus workshops and teacher support groups. We have a full week at the end of each summer for in-service to prepare for the new school year.
