Category: NTE Subscribe: Department: Pierson Lab Nursery School Locations: Poughkeepsie, NY Posted: Jan 30, 2024 Closes: Open Until Filled Type: Full-time Position ID: 172086 About Dutchess Community College:

Located in the heart of New York's beautiful and historic mid-Hudson Valley, just 90 minutes north of New York City, Dutchess Community College (DCC) is one of 64 colleges within the State University of New York, the largest comprehensive public higher education system in the country.

DCC's strategic direction is guided by four lenses through which we view our work: Students. Learning. Community. Growth. We are committed to respecting individuality, embracing diversity, being "student-ready," and partnering with and serving our community inclusively. The College welcomes and seeks to grow a pool of prospective employees who share and are eager to support the institution's core values: Excellence. Collaboration. Engagement. Equity. Innovation.

The June Roush Pierson Laboratory Nursery School at DCC has been providing enriching and engaging experiences for children since 1963.

The program enrolls three- to five-year-old children from the campus and surrounding community in its five-morning program, housed in two bright, airy classrooms on the DCC main campus. Each classroom is staffed by an experienced master teacher and part time faculty member from the college's Early Childhood and Elementary Education Program.

The play-based curriculum is carefully planned to support children's growth and development, offering a rich variety of art, sensory, literacy, math, science, and music activities, in addition to block building, dramatic play, and outdoor play. There is an emphasis on developing relationships with others, as master teachers, fieldwork students, and children engage in meaningful conversations and participate in hands-on learning experiences through play.
