Job description


We are in search of a Teacher, who wants to have a blast while impacting and changing the lives of our future!

Are you willing to look ridiculous to make kids laugh? * Are you willing to sing the same song (in or out of tune) and read the same book 20 times in one day? * Can you handle a child crawling all over you while you're reading a book to 8 other kids? * Do you love getting hugs all day long, getting a Dr. exam 5 times in 20 minutes, getting your hair done and changing diapers of imaginary friends? * Do you love hats? This job requires wearing many. * Do you speak several different toddler languages? * Can you read between the lines of a meltdown to figure out who did what? * Do you have eyes on all sides of your head? * Are you prepared to handle the brutal honesty of children and to learn more about children and their families than you ever thought was possible? * Most importably are you prepared to be loved unconditionally (by children and co workers), laugh constantly, be a part of a family and most of all love coming to work everyday despite the challenges?

If you answered yes to the above questions, this job is perfect for you. Please please please apply. There are not many out there that can honestly answer yes to all of the above!
