This is an opportunity to be part of an innovative team of educators that is making a positive impact on children’s lives and shaping the future of education. 


Why work with us

Teachers are at the heart of our school. We are a multilingual private school that combines small class sizes, whole-child development, and nature-based learning in the beautiful SF Bay Area surroundings. 


How we’re different: 


  1. Small Class Sizes & Ratios: We offer ratios that are smaller than those found in traditional childcare centers. This fosters stronger and more intimate connections with children, families, and fellow educators.

  3. Diverse & Inclusive Community: Learn from a diverse and inclusive group of fellow educators, students, and families who value kindness. Over half of teachers and students are multi-ethnic, a third of families receive scholarships, and a third have lived abroad. 


Job Responsibilities

  1. Support the program coordinator in ensuring supervision and safety.
  2. Co-lead and engage a group of 10-25 students in age-appropriate after-school snacks, activities, and free play.
  3. Join the snack rotation to prepare snacks for the children in the after school program.
  4. Implement compassionate and effective classroom and behavioral management strategies, in line with the Terra Schools’ values and Reggio Emilia philosophy. 
  5. Communicate openly and professionally with students, parents, school day staff, and after school staff. 
  6. Foster a safe and emotionally supportive environment for all participants.
  7. Collaborate with the after school program coordinator and school site staff to strengthen the program.
  8. Adhere to the duties and responsibilities outlined in the Employee Handbook or mandated by State or Federal regulations.


Minimum Requirements

  1. Experience working with preschool or elementary students.
  2. Excellent oral communication skills in English
  3. Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to communicate openly and professionally with students, parents, and staff.
  4. Kindness and empathy towards all individuals.
  5. Demonstrated proficiency in classroom and behavioral management.
  6. Passion for learning and youth development, particularly in the preschool and elementary school age range.
  7. Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment.
  8. Reliable transportation to and from Mill Valley.
  9. Commitment to a full summer or school year. 
  10. Fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or have a valid medical or religious exemption.
  11. Clear background check (provided by the Terra Schools)


Ideal Requirements (a plus, but not required)

  1. Associate or Bachelor’s degree, or in the process of obtaining one 
  2. Basic proficiency in Mandarin or Spanish, to educate students through language infusion
  3. Ability to execute lesson plans that support the school day learning objectives.


Perks & Benefits

  1. Competitive pay rate ranging from $19 to $30 per hour, based on experience and location.
  2. For international applicants, we will help with your visas. 
  3. Federal holidays and weekends off.
  4. Opportunity for professional growth, including potential advancement to become a teacher or run your own after-school program.
  5. Covid-19 Safety: Free access to covid tests, masks, and hand sanitizer.

About the Terra Schools 

The Terra Schools are a nature-based, trilingual Mandarin, Spanish, and English program for preschoolers through 8th graders. 


Fluency in Spanish and/or Mandarin is achieved through a strong foundation of language immersion in the early years, followed by language infusion in later years. Engaging, passionate teachers harness students' enthusiasm to accelerate traditional academic learning, with interactive projects and student-led discussions inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy. A personalized curriculum with low student-teacher ratios empowers young minds to grow beyond what traditional classrooms offer. We aim to spark wonder, a love of learning, and 21st century leadership skills through weekly nature-based excursions. And our culture of kindness is infused throughout the community and bolstered by dedicated Social Emotional Learning staff and curriculum.
