What are the responsibilities and job description for the Flexible Part Time Substitute Educator position at The Inspired Mind?
Job Overview
Join our brand new learning studio as a Flexible, Part Time Educator! In this role, you will have the opportunity to inspire and support children and families across various age groups by helping them have meaningful, memorable experiences in our space. You'll create an environment where visitors feel welcomed, curious, confident, and free to explore.
Rather than teaching children to do a specific project, you will facilitate exploration of our materials by asking questions, offering ideas, introducing materials, and encouraging children to experiment, create, problem-solve, and follow their own interests.
Key Responsibilities:
- Welcome children and families with warmth and enthusiasm.
- Facilitate hands-on activities, creative experiences, and open-ended exploration.
- Encourage children to make choices, try new things, take appropriate risks, and develop their own ideas.
- Use thoughtful questions and prompts to extend children's thinking without taking over their work.
- Help children who need support while allowing them appropriate independence.
- Maintain a safe, clean, organized, and inviting environment.
- Monitor children's activities and follow all safety and supervision expectations.
- Prepare, organize, replenish, and clean up materials and activity areas.
- Engage with parents and caregivers in a friendly and professional manner.
- Share observations and feedback with the team about what children are enjoying and where experiences could be improved.
- Represent The Inspired Mind's philosophy and values in every interaction.

- Excellent communication skills to collaborate effectively with staff, parents, and children
- Ability to adapt quickly to different environments and follow detailed instructions accurately
- Passion for youth development programs, teaching young children, and fostering positive childhood experiences
This role is ideal for energetic individuals who enjoy working with children and want flexible hours that fit around other commitments.
