Chicago, United States Dandelion Nursery and Preschool Full time

_We are seeking qualified, part time assistant teachers. This could be a 1/2 day shift (most likely in the afternoon), or a full 8 hours shift 2-3 days per week. _

At Dandelion Nursery and Preschool (DNPS), we have recently rebranded ourselves and clarified our purpose of creating loving, healthy environments for young children, ages 6 weeks to 5 years. We are looking for some creative new staff to help us realize this vision - lead and assistant teachers, for the infant, toddler and preschool classrooms.

We are quite interested in hiring staff who have creative gifts they’d like to share with our young students - do you love art and want to make some process art with young ones? Do you love music and want to sing and dance with young ones? We are eager for you to share your talents with our community DNPS empowers teachers to use emergent curriculum that supports the child’s interests and what the children want to learn, not to an outdated, dusty program. We focus on creating play-based learning experiences for our children and we gently guide their learning.

We have a clear commitment to our staff in creating a work environment that supports their well-being in a variety of ways. We want our staff to feel cared for and supported in their growth and development. If you’re looking for a place to be treated professionally, where you can be part of a learning community and can enjoy your work, then come check us out

We have 5 classrooms and are located in River West in Chicago. We love to create joyful opportunities to playfully learn every day, from 7:00AM-6:00PM. We are situated near a park and take our kiddos out there every day.

We are looking for future Dandelion employees that:

- Are creative-problem solvers.
- Have lots of love to give.
- Appreciate the awe and wonder that young children experience.
- Are committed to the rights of the child.
- Understand and appreciate child development and what are normal behaviors in young children.
- Enjoy narrating the world to infants.
- Love snuggling babies and young children who want that connection.
- Can set loving boundaries.
- Are excited to provide rich learning opportunities for young children.
- Enjoy watching children and sharing in their joy, and building on it.
- Are committed to doing what’s best for kiddos, not what is always easiest.
- Are excited to help guide children when they exhibit lots of different behaviors.
- Can gracefully manage all of the routine childcare tasks: washing hands and faces; wiping noses, bottoms and tears.

If you’re interested in an assistant teacher position, we are looking for staff who additionally:

- Are comfortable taking direction from others.
- Are comfortable cleaning the materials and spaces that children use.
- Are flexible and can pivot on a dime.
