Toddler Assistant Teacher

Who are we?

Our Co-op was organized in 1972 as an alternative to the established for-profit early childcare and preschool programs available at the time. We started as a group of parents who understood that young children learn naturally in an environment offering a choice of activities created with children’s needs in mind. We offer a high quality independent program that includes free play, games, self-help, social skills, creative expression, and field trips.

Cooperative Children's Center Mission

To provide a safe and creative environment that fosters our children’s social, emotional, cognitive, and physical growth, and instills in our children a respect for self, respect for others, and a joy for learning.

Teaching Position Overview

Teaching staff work to support the core values of the Cooperative Children's Center:

Emergent Curriculum: We encourage learning activities to arise out of each child’s interests, actions or serendipitous events. Children have the freedom to explore their surroundings, to make choices, to communicate, and to resolve conflicts in a supportive climate that nurtures self-esteem and a desire to learn.

Parent-Teacher-Child Community: We support teachers and families working closely in partnership to ensure continuity between home and school, and to offer opportunities for the enhancement of parenting skills.

Anti-Bias: We value and nurture families with diverse lifestyles, cultures, worldviews and socio-economic status. We acknowledge and celebrate our differences and encourage our children and their families to recognize and actively challenge bias.

Positive Guidance: We set the stage for positive, inspiring interaction with others through a respect for self and others, characterized by warmth, personal respect, individuality, positive support, and responsiveness.

Our Staff: We believe in supporting a staff who understand child and family development and who recognize and meet the developmental and learning needs of children and families.
