Thrive Preschool

<div>The Intro Part
Hello! My name is Cari, and I'm the director for Thrive Golden, a play-based learning preschool located in Golden, Colorado. We're looking for enthusiastic, explorative teachers to join our team!
The About Us Part
Thrive is a nurturing and supportive community of early childhood professionals that are passionate about the importance of, and interplay between, play and discovery. We currently have four locations, and as we continue to grow as an organization, our desire is to build a team of educators that can grow with us and expand into new roles, experiencing both professional and personal growth.
The How Much Will I Make &amp; How Many Hours Will I Work Part (aka the First Thing You Are Probably Reading Part)
We are looking to hire a full-time lead teacher (Monday-Friday, 8 hours/day) for a salaried position paying from $46,625 to $51,288 per year, plus benefits.
The Benefits Part
We have strong beliefs about keeping harmony between work and life for all of our staff, and those beliefs drive all of the benefits we offer.
We believe that time is our most valuable resource:
<ul><li>6 weeks of paid holidays and breaks with additional non-student contact days (you can visit our website, thrivepreschool.com, to see the school year calendar)</li><li>

We believe in caring for others now and into the distant future:
<ul><li>Employer contributions toward group medical, dental and vision coverage</li><li>
401(k) plans with employer contribution matching</li></ul>
We believe in providing the best opportunity for an educator to do her/his/their best work:
<ul><li>Classroom supplies and materials budget provided every month</li><li>
Time out of the classroom to plan and execute quality learning experiences</li></ul>
We believe every human being has the right to continued personal and professional growth:
<ul><li>Professional development and continuing education opportunities as you grow with the school</li></ul>
The Are We a Great Fit Part
Compatibility means everything to us. If you are dedicated to the future of our children, have experience has a lead teacher, and believe in the power of play-based learning, you're probably in the right place. But let's get the usual qualifications out of the way first.
Just to make sure we're on the same page, let's start with the basics:
<ul><li>A positive attitude and passion for working with young children, families, and co-teachers</li><li>
Strong organizational, leadership, and communication skills</li><li>
Intentional and reflective in professional practices</li><li>
Meets or exceeds minimum qualifications for employment as an Early Childhood Lead Teacher in the state of Colorado, including training, experience, and background check requirements</li><li>
Experience as a lead teacher at a large childcare center in the state of Colorado</li><li>
Ability to work occasional weekends and evenings (open houses, family-teacher conferences, seasonal holiday celebrations, etc.) We pinky promise to make these as rare as possible</li><li>
A Bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited college or university with a major area of study in early childhood education, elementary education, special education, family and child development, or child psychology</li></ul>
And here are some of the philosophies and lifestyle choices we share with our educators that make Thrive a special place to learn and grow:
<ul><li>A love of nature and spending time outdoors in all weather</li><li>
Dedication to play-based learning</li><li>
Experience, training, and/or knowledge of Reggio Emilia educational practices and philosophies</li><li>
A special talent, skill, or hobby (artistic, multi-lingual, play an instrument, sing, puppetry, storytelling, woodworking, knitting, cooking, gardening etc.) that you would enjoy sharing with the children and fellow teachers. We take the &ldquo;play&rdquo; part very seriously.</li></ul>

Perform other tasks and duties as deemed necessary by the program director to create an incredible educational environment for the children and families</li></ul>
The Goodbye Part
If you're interested in providing a brighter future for our children, please reach out right this moment! When we find incredible new educators to join our community, we always wish we could have had you with us from the very beginning, but we'll have to settle for the joy of having you now and growing with you for many years to come. Any questions? Of course, go ahead and ask. That's what we're here for. That's what we're all here for: to question.
Sincerely,
Cari Hoffschildt
