Infant/Toddler Teacher

Woodstock Garden School is an infant/toddler paradise located on a 1/3 acre lush garden full of opportunities to explore and play. We have chickens, a year-round garden, and a raspberry patch, plus a bamboo forest with tunnels to explore. The school is located in a 100-year-old bungalow just a few blocks from SE Woodstock Blvd and SE 52nd Ave. We believe in being outside year round, and no child is too young to reap the benefits of fresh air and fresh, homegrown food.

We currently have 2 full time teachers plus an on-site director and are looking to add one more teacher to our group to accommodate our growing posse of kids. Our ratios are currently 4:1 or better, and our children range in age from 6 months-2 years. We have a positive, supportive atmosphere and welcome a new teacher who genuinely loves young children, is able to take initiative, and doesn't mind being outside year-round with the kids!
