Wholesome Generation is inviting passionate lead-teachers to apply for our Pre-K4 teacher positions for our upcoming ‘23-’24 school year. Due to our Pre-K partnership expansion and added outdoor learning areas, we will need more support, to assure we can meet the need of new families.

The Pre-K4 Lead Teacher position will be working with our early learners in an indoor-outdoor Reggio Emilia environment, receiving support from our previous Pre-K4 lead teacher (who is moving up with her children to the next class), and also our Educational Director, and Executive Director.

Wholesome Generation’s campus is nestled at a 5.5-Acre space in North Austin with a creek bed, educational gardens, a pollinator ecolab, food forest and small (Tonkawa) homesteading farm, with a mobile culinary classroom on site, serving as the only (Austin) youth program that offers food security, nature-conservation focused education, and community wellness, year-round, for youth and their families.

Our Wholesome Generation model includes a unique eco-community fostering research, education, food farming, pollination ecology & conservation lab, and healing therapies. A big focus is holistic, social emotional and entrepreneurial learning, and a strong focus to stay away from systems that are not supporting our communities’ health and well-being. From unique TreeWeave structures, to our Entrepreneurial classes and a strong focus on ecology and science, our space is the perfect place for active and self-motivated learners to expand and flourish. We are in our 15th year of providing high quality education and in our 8th year on this amazing campus.

Our team is looking for a passionate change-maker, who understands the importance of nature connect, and whose values align closely with our goals and our diverse community; we are also looking for individuals who have international work/life experiences and contribute a unique perspective and skill to our school (bilingual Spanish is a plus).

Wholesome Generation is a state-licensed school and partner of United Way/AISD’s Pre-K partnership program. Furthermore, we are part of the international forest school association and a 4-star Texas Rising Start (TRS) program. Our schedule follows AISD for the most part, however, we offer a full summer program (both June and July months), with hours from 8:30a - 4:30pm.

Compensation: Competitive salary based on experience and credentials. Benefits for employees include health and dental coverage, 6 weeks paid time off (1 week in the Fall, 2 weeks for Winter, 1 week in the Spring, 2 weeks in the Summer), sick-leave, and full dependent credit (if needed). We also offer two organic/healthy snacks and full lunches, every day. Our meals are made freshly on site, every-day, and are gluten-free, locally sourced/organic, refined sugar free, vegan, vegetarian or meat-based.

Start Date: Training begins in July, 2023, our new school year starts on August 16, 2023.

How to Apply: If you are a well rounded and beautifully skilled early childhood educator, ready to apply, please send your resume, with a cover letter and three professional references to our Executive Director, Lene Saint-Orens, at lene@wholesomegeneration.org. You can also call 512.368.3885.
