What are the responsibilities and job description for the Early Childhood Special Education Teacher position at Capital Area Child Development Center?
Are you a master of the preschool universe? Do you believe that every breakthrough—big or small—is worth celebrating with a high-five? If you are a compassionate, creative educator who loves turning developmental milestones into moments of pure joy, we want you on our team!
We are looking for an Early Childhood Special Education Teacher who doesn't just teach, but builds a world where every child belongs, thrives, and discovers their full potential.
What You’ll Do (The Fun Stuff):
- Design the Magic: Craft vibrant, tailored lesson plans that turn literacy, math, physical education, and social-emotional learning into an absolute adventure for children with unique learning needs (including autism and developmental delays).
- Cultivate Joy: Create a classroom environment so positive, engaging, and structured that good behavior and breakthroughs happen naturally.
- Co-Pilot with Pros: Work side-by-side with our rockstar multidisciplinary team of speech therapists, occupational therapists, and specialists. Together, you’ll seamlessly weave therapy goals right into daily playtime and learning.
- Track the Triumphs: Conduct assessments and monitor IEP goals to champion each child’s individual progress. (Yes, there’s data and compliance, but it’s the roadmap to our students' success!)
- Be the Ultimate Ally: Partner closely with families, giving them the insights and support they need to celebrate their child's growth at home.
What You Bring to the Sandbox:
- The Magic Touch: Deep expertise in early childhood and special education, with a toolkit full of positive behavior management strategies.
- The Know-How: Solid experience supporting children with autism, developmental delays, or hearing impairments (deaf education experience is a massive plus!).
- The Superpowers: A strong understanding of IEP development, special education law, and educational compliance standards. You know how to keep the ship running smoothly and legally.
- Tech-Savvy Sensibility: Comfort using modern learning technology tools to enhance your teaching and track student development.
- Heart & Hype: Excellent communication skills, a collaborative spirit, and a genuine passion for early intervention.
Why Join Us?
Because we know that early childhood educators are superheroes. We offer a supportive, collaborative ecosystem where your expertise is valued, your creativity is encouraged, and your work directly changes the trajectory of a child's life.
