The Katherine Michiels School (KMS) Infant/Toddler Program is looking for a bright, energetic teacher for our progressive infant/toddler program of 15 children (which is strongly influenced by the Reggio-Emilia model) who will work cooperatively with the preschool program.
KMS's program provides a safe and nurturing environment for children between the ages of 3 months to 4 years, supervised by highly qualified teachers. Because a child's core self begins to emerge at this age, our programs focus on building the emotional security necessary to develop a balanced sense of self.

Our ideal candidate is a team player who has a sense of respect and partnership with coworkers, parents and the children. They would be someone who can stimulate independent thinking, ignite creativity and empower children to make their own choices. One who can teach children to be compassionate and collaborative with others and focus on “asking vs. telling”.

Required: minimum of 12 Early Childhood Education units completed, of which at least 3 must be Infant/Toddler units.
At least 2 years of experience working directly with children between the ages of 3 months to 2 years.
