What are the responsibilities and job description for the Early Childhood Educator position at Kumon Math and Reading Center of PLANO - FOUR CORNERS?
Job description
UPDATE: We are also looking for someone to manage our Early Learner department. If you think you would be a good fit for the manager position please mention that in your comments.
At Kumon we are dedicated to fully pursuing the potential of each individual student. Kumon Instructors provide just enough guidance for their students to be able to do the exercises on their own. As a result, our students learn that they can do anything if they try, build self-esteem, and develop the ability to take on new challenges for themselves.
Kumon aims to foster sound, capable individuals who are able to independently carve out a path for themselves in life.
At Kumon we believe that the most beneficial thing we can do for children is to furnish them with the ability to advance to high school level material through self-learning as early as possible in life. With the Kumon Method, students study independently from an early age and develop both a high level of academic ability and the ability to learn independently, or what we at Kumon refer to as “self-learning” ability. As a result, after children who have done Kumon grow up and enter the workforce, they are able to think of solutions by themselves even when faced with difficult challenges. All in all, the skills that students gain through doing Kumon go a long way to helping them to achieve their goals and dreams.
