Early Education Teacher
About The Position
Launch & Learn is a locally owned Early Childhood Education and Care Company with two centers in the Greater Boston area. We are looking for passionate and motivated teachers to join our team! At Launch & Learn, we offer early education and care to children ages six weeks to kindergarten age. Teachers are responsible for aiding children in accomplishing the goals and objectives laid out in Teaching Strategies. We are play-based! At Launch & Learn, teachers design their own weekly curriculum with their teammates. We encourage careful observations of the children to determine their current passions and interests, which results in the children being fully engaged in learning. Our teachers prepare fun and educational activities which help the children develop necessary skills for their future! We are looking for teachers that genuinely enjoy their interactions with the children. A SENSE OF HUMOR IS A MUST!! We are also lucky to have wonderful and supportive parents at Launch & Learn. The partnership our teachers create with parents allows us to provide the best environment for the children to thrive! Many childcare and early education centers have two teachers in each classroom, as mandated by the state. At Launch & Learn, our model is to have three teachers per classroom to both improve the quality of care for the children, as well as give teachers the necessary support they need during their day. Teachers can constantly step out to plan, get supplies for the day, or most importantly – use the bathroom! The owners and directors at Launch & Learn make every effort to help staff achieve their personal career goals with our Tuition Reimbursement program. If you are interested in furthering your education, we are here to help! We want our employees to grow with us; we prefer to promote from within!
