Ignite curiosity. Foster independence. Build a community. Are you a passionate educator who believes children are capable, resilient, and full of potential? We are looking for six dedicated Child Care Teachers to join our Richmond team. Utilizing the Reggio Emilia approach, you won't just "babysit"—you will co-research and explore the world alongside children ages 6 weeks to 6 years.

• Philosophy-Driven:
  Work in an environment that values the "hundred languages of children."
• Collaborative Culture:
  Join a teaching team that supports your professional growth.
• Stability:
  This is a permanent, direct-hire role with a predictable Monday–Friday schedule.

• Create:
  Develop adaptive, creative lesson plans that turn learning into an "explosion" of potential.
• Observe:
  Document children’s daily discoveries and share these meaningful milestones with families.
• Curate:
  Maintain a beautiful, safe, and organized "third teacher" environment (your classroom).
• Lead:
  Supervise aides and volunteers to ensure a high-standard, nurturing atmosphere.

• Education:
  
  An Associate’s degree in ECE, Psychology, or a related field (or 40+ hours of relevant coursework). Bachelor’s/Master’s in ECE preferred!
• Experience:
  
  2+ years of formal experience working with children (6 weeks to 6 years).
• Mindset: A deep respect for children’s autonomy and a love for both indoor and outdoor learning.
