If you love working in collaborative, nurturing environments where teachers are trusted, supported, and valued—this is the place for you.
What Makes Us Different
- Small class sizes (4:1 ratio) so you can personalize instruction and truly connect with each learner.
- A supportive, collaborative team that includes therapists, specialists, and educators all working together—not in silos.
- A child-directed, strengths-based model that encourages curiosity, independence, and joy in learning.
- A positive workplace culture where your ideas matter and your well-being is prioritized.
Responsibilities
- Create and deliver individualized lessons aligned with student IEPs in a small, focused classroom environment.
- Support student success using proactive behavior strategies, positive reinforcement, and consistent routines.
- Partner closely with speech therapists, behavior specialists, and other team members to ensure integrated support.
- Incorporate adaptive tools and technology to enhance instruction and engagement.
- Conduct assessments and standardized testing to monitor growth and guide instruction.
- Apply early intervention strategies, particularly for students with autism or developmental disabilities.
- Maintain accurate documentation of progress, behavior plans, and IEP goals.
- Collaborate closely with families to support each student’s development.
Qualifications
- Classroom management experience in early childhood, preschool, daycare, or related educational settings.
- Experience working with children with autism, developmental disabilities, or in deaf education.
- Strong background in special education curriculum—including literacy, math, physical education, or Montessori approaches.
- Familiarity with child welfare practices, behavior management strategies, and behavioral health techniques.
- Successful experience teaching students with diverse backgrounds and abilities.
- Preschool or toddler-care experience is a strong plus.
- Knowledge of IEP processes and comfort administering assessments.
- Strong communication skills with families, colleagues, and specialists.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
