<div><h3 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>Summary</b></h3>
<p>We are not your traditional child care center-want to work somewhere new and exciting? Like to paint, sing, knit/crochet, needle/wet felt, garden or want to learn? If the answer is yes to any of these, then our center is the right place for you!</p><p><br>
Enjoy nurturing children's imaginations and need to explore? Then, join us on our adventures at our nature based center for fun and discovery! Our child care center is seeking a lead child care teacher to run a multi-age classroom. Mixed age groups make the classroom become a home-like family environment and creates a stronger, deeper style of learning. We are seeking a co-lead teacher to work either part time MWF 9-10 hour days or full time M-F with four 9 hour days and one 4 hour day. Our 3 large outdoor play spaces provide ample opportunities for outdoor learning. In addition, we have access to 100 acres of forest exploration. We also pride ourselves in community involvement; including story time at the library; FFA petting zoo at the elementary; ornaments on the square; walks to the park; and mother's day flower baskets made with the high school agriculture students...to name a few.</p><p><br>
A little bit about us....</p><p>
Our mission statement: The Climbing Tree Child Care and Family Education Center is dedicated to providing a family-style, home-like environment that offers nurturance, warmth, safety, and gentle and appropriate sensory stimuli for the young child and an interactive outdoor life that emphasizes our interconnectedness with the natural world.</p><p><br>
The primary goal of our center is for staff and families to work cooperatively to create opportunities for each child to develop physically, emotionally, socially, and cognitively at their own pace and in their own style. We aim to foster self-reliance in work and play as a cornerstone for igniting each child's joyful self-esteem.'</p>
