About This Role

Do you have an interest in food justice, citizenship and the rights of young children, exploring the natural world, or want to learn more about different aspects of a community based early care and education program with many interesting partnerships? Do you speak one of the many languages of children including music, art, drama, movement, block building, deconstruction, gardening, wondering, baking, sensory exploration, observation, or humor? The Burlington Children's Space is seeking substitute teachers to join our team. Candidates will have the opportunity to work with highly qualified staff to learn how a program like the Burlington Children's Space operates.

The Burlington Children's Space is a Therapeutic Child Care Center, working in partnership with the Howard Center and is an Early Head Start partner. BCS is dedicated to serving all populations and our tuition is based on a sliding scale.
