<h3>Job Description</h3>
Job Description Summary FrogToad is a play and nature based Early Education Program, and we are seeking a Lead Preschool Teacher who can help us grow along that path! Our program prides itself on always providing engaging and appropriate curriculum, with a focus toward our natural environment. We work closely with the Vermont Early Learning Standards, Teaching Strategies Gold, ASQ's, and have Creative Curriculum available to guide teachers in curriculum development as needed. Don't know what any of these things are? That's okay! We will be happy to teach you how to build fun, engaging, and meaningful curriculum that propels your students through their academic journey, how to ensure that the curriculum that you've created is in fact well-rounded, and how to assess the progress of your students so that you know where to go next as their teacher! Not a fan of Creative Curriculum? That's okay too! This is not a required platform for our educators. Our more seasoned educators often enjoy the process of creating curriculum from the ground up! In that case this platform can be utilized to fill in any little gaps, to gain inspiration, or not at all! Are you an experienced early educator looking to work in an environment that is professional and academically based? Have you recently finished your degree and are now looking to start your career in Early Childhood Education? Maybe you have completed, or have nearly completed, the Apprenticeship Program? Our school is looking for a Lead Preschool Teacher to join our amazing team! If you have (or think you have) the credentials to qualify as a Lead Teacher under the Child Development Division regulations, and you have a strong desire to make a profound difference not only for young children, but their families, and the community at large, we urge you to apply! Candidates must meet the standards set by the Vermont Early Childhood Regulations. If you are unsure about your qualifications please feel free to send us your resume and cover letter, and we will be happy to assist you. If you are working toward meeting qualifications for this position and are interested in this opportunity we still urge you to apply as it may be possible to obtain a variance from the Child Development Division provided that you are willing to continue moving toward qualification through professional training. Interested persons should be hard working, dependable, team players, and be willing to advance academically as training is an annual state requirement. This position is full-time, pays $23.00 - 30.00 per hour, and is paid bi-weekly on Wednesday. The lower end of the pay range would apply to a candidate that perhaps has some college credits (12) that apply toward ECE whereas the higher end of the pay range would apply to a candidate that is a Vermont state licensed educator in ECE, ECSE, or both. More mid range of this scale would apply to those candidates that have an Associate's or Bachelor's Degree in ECE, ECSE, or related field. Duties All of our teaching staff are responsible for upholding state and school policies, maintaining classroom cleanliness and organization, delivering approved curriculum, communicating positively and professionally with families and co-workers, and of course providing loving care to the children in our school! In addition, Lead Teachers are responsible for completing child observations, child developmental profiles, and creating age appropriate curriculum. Requirements All candidates must meet the state requirements for each position as outlined by the Child Development Division. That being said, we are here to help! We can look at your resume with you, and review the state requirements for any position to see where your qualifications take you. If you are under qualified we are able to request a variance from the Child Development Division with a concise plan to increase your education and/or training so that you meet the qualifications within a given timeframe. Nice To Haves It is always nice to interview candidates that have experience working with larger groups of children as this is a very different experience than being a parent, babysitting, nannying, or any other such scenario where children are of the same family.
