What are the responsibilities and job description for the Daily Substitute - Early Learning Center [SY24-25] position at Early Learning Center?
The Early Learning Center Community:
The Early Learning center (ELC) is nationally recognized by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC); each year we participate in a recertification process and engage in a site visit every five years to maintain this certification. Through the NAEYC standards, as well as the Massachusetts State Standards, we focus on the age appropriate academic, social, and emotional growth of our students. The 2020 -2021 school year will include a site visit for us to be recertified by NAEYC. We look forward to celebrating and being recognized for what we do day in and day out at the ELC.
Serving over 400 students ranging in age from 3 through 5, all of our classrooms are led by state certified Prek and/or special education educators and support staff who are trained in providing differentiation based on the individual child’s needs. By providing individualized instruction, we challenge all learners where they are and move them to a higher level of achievement. Common assessments are administered three times per year, allowing educators to create meaningful and intentional learning opportunities for students. We are staffed with a full-time nurse, school adjustment counselor, behavior support specialists, occupational, speech, and physical therapists should your child require additional support. All of our classrooms are equipped with J-touches, which are interactive wide-screen televisions; this allows our students to learn with the latest technology, providing them with visual, audio, and hands-on learning. Each classroom has several iPads that are also to help students make incredible academic gains; during the last school year we were able to add additional iPads with headphones to be able to expand our impact with this vital instructional device. Several of our academic programs can be used at home for further development at night, weekends, and school vacations. Recognizing the importance of play, we have recently added additional indoor and outdoor playground equipment that includes structures for our students with physical challenges.
Our school uses the Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports (PBIS) model to support the students’ social and emotional growth throughout our school community, and we were recognized last year by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education for our work in this area. With a strong PTO and School Council, there are several opportunities to get involved in the school community.
