Preschool Teacher

Hello! We are Oak & Rose School for Early Childhood:

Oak & Rose has two in home locations serving NE Portland families. We offer curriculum based care for children ages 6 weeks to 5 years of age. We envision a learning community that supports experiential learning, creative expression, outdoor adventure, PLAY, and a garden and food program that children can participate in. Above all, we aim to co-create a space based on community and respect.

We are currently seeking to hire a teacher for our infant to toddler aged children, as well as for our preschool aged children (3-5). Teachers form strong bonds with children, and create projects that encourage curiosity, social & emotional well-being, and that build skills to establish confidence at an early age.

Please see our website for more information: www.oakandroseschool.com

Position: We are seeking a well versed childcare educator that has experience with children. We are looking for an outgoing, kind, nurturing, and spirited leader who can jump in as a co-teacher and help to lead the children. You will be working with ages from infants to 3, or 3 to 5 years of age, dependent on experience, and primarily working alongside either another lead teacher or an assistant lead teacher. Teachers will be able to create age appropriate curriculum based in Reggio Emilia-inspired environment-encouraging child led projects and building communication skills.

We hope to find someone who is a good fit for our program. Our staff are highly creative, engaged in the children’s activities, and are able to multi-task in order to allow for smooth transitions throughout the day. We would like to have a teacher that is able to commit to work for at least one year and hopefully be a long term hire. We love our program, the families, children and our staff and look forward to finding our next member!
