Preschool Teacher

We are looking for a full time preschool teacher who is motivated, warm, flexible, energetic, and truly love guiding young children.

Seedlings & Sprouts Preschool applies the philosophies of Dr. Maria Montessori. She believed in a self-motivated style of learning environment. The child chooses the activity he/she will perform, as he/she is naturally curious and the environment helps to cultivate his/her natural desire to learn.

The goal of our school is to create a self-motivated individual who can adapt to his/her time, space and group and fulfill his/her potential. Allowing the child to have the choice for the materials spurs this motivation. As the child successfully completes a task, the more confidence and security he/she gains to go onto a more difficult activity or area in the classroom.

Seedlings & Sprouts Preschool is a non-denominational school that will accept students regardless of color, creed, religion, race, or national origin.

The school operates year-round, Monday through Friday children may attend 7:30-5:00 p.m.

"Only through freedom and environmental experience is it practically possible for human development to occur." Maria Montessori
