Teacher Aide

Have you ever heard the expression, “Teaching is like herding cats”? Well, teaching children is way more fun than herding cats! Here is a glance at what our teachers are responsible for daily.

Primary Responsibilities:
● The ability to rapidly count the heads of numerous moving small people is of the utmost importance.
● The ability to receive hugs from each child in the class…all at once (while also managing the feelings of the kiddo who didn’t get to hug you first).
● You must be able to laugh at jokes that you don’t understand, or you don’t find funny. Child humor can be a confusing minefield to navigate.
● You must feel comfortable telling everybody in the room that you are going to use the bathroom.
● Simultaneously be able to sing songs, help clean up toys, hand out snacks, and help a child draw on the paper (instead of the wall).

Are you naturally a leader? Do you believe that the role of a leader is to encourage and guide your team rather than manage your team? Are you passionate about creating an inviting environment for both teachers and families? If you answered yes to those questions, then this might be the perfect role (and team!) for you…
