We invite you to apply to this co-teacher position in our Preschool (ages 3-5) as we work to change the landscape of early childhood careers.

The Co-teacher is responsible for creating a warm and nurturing relationship with each child and family, supporting emergent inquiry and developing decision making through risky play.
