About This Role

We are seeking a highly organized, collaborative, and dependable Curriculum & Classroom Support Specialist to support our preschool program. This role provides essential instructional and documentation support for two Seattle Preschool Program classrooms by covering teacher planning time, assisting with curriculum implementation, and maintaining child observations and portfolios.

At Hutch Kids, we construct a child-centered, developmentally appropriate, emergent curriculum that encourages children’s growth and development, including their self-confidence, spontaneity, curiosity, and self-discipline. As a whole, and within each classroom, we consider ourselves a community of learners. Low classroom ratios allow for the development of secure, lasting relationships between children, teachers, and families. Hutch Kids is accredited by NAEYC and participates in Early Achievers.

The ideal candidate has experience in early childhood education, strong time management and organizational skills, and a solid understanding of early learning documentation practices.
