Spirit at Play Early Childhood Program is a Missoula area preschool for 2.
5-6 year old students (up to 9 years old in the summer) with an emphasis on sustainability, the development of social-emotional skills, and connection with community.
The outdoors and nature become our second classrooms, kindness guides our days, and we believe in the power of learning through play.
We are in search of a full time teacher assistant, 32-40 hour per week.
Candidates would ideally have at least two years of experience in the early childhood education field, interest in a collaborative, supportive work environment, and someone who can demonstrate skills for interacting professionally and happily with children, parents and coworkers.
Possession of strong team-player skills, knowledge of child development, ability to work in a fast-paced school environment, and a love of children are a must.
All of our teachers hold a diverse array of strengths including child-related degrees, years working in early education, incredible knowledge and experiences and above all, passion for the field.
Additionally, SAP teachers engage in a large variety of ongoing professional development courses every year and continuously strive to be the best educators possible.
While we are hoping to hire an individual with a ECE background, we're willing to branch out for the right person who would fit our team!
