Overview

CHILDCARE EDUCATION COORDINATOR

The Nest School has come to your town! The Nest is a fresh, new, innovative, and forward-reaching early childhood education program designed to encourage a lifetime of wellness, resilience, and creativity in the children who come through our doors. At The Nest Schools, we understand that high-quality early education happens only through bright, passionate, dedicated, and happy teachers. Our goal is to break through barriers and truly put our focus and our resources behind developing, supporting, and promoting the livelihood and vitality of our team, both in and out of work.

Each of our Nest School locations is currently seeking dynamic, energetic, and joyful leaders to be a part of our team as the Education Coordinator. We have written an inspired curriculum with the intention of providing the children that we nurture with “in-house” special instructional experiences in health and wellness, arts and music, and life skills. Our Education Coordinator will be charged with delivering this proprietary curriculum in special classes during the week to each classroom. Moving from classroom to classroom and working alongside our classroom teachers, Education Coordinators will serve as role models for the children and staff, ensuring quality not just in their weekly classes but throughout our programs and acting as an additional level of support to the teachers, children, and families in our programs. This position will be considered a member of our management team and will work with training teachers in effective teaching styles, transitions, and communication techniques. In addition, our Education Coordinators will work together with our school’s leadership team in daily administrative tasks such as (but not limited to) opening and closing procedures, touring, answering phones, coverage in the classroom, and monthly purchasing and organizing of curriculum supplies.

A successful candidate will have experience in teaching, will be able to energetically model and participate in athletic activities, deep stretches, active songs, and free and silly dance routines. Candidates should be outgoing leaders, with a true desire to spread joy and fun to staff and kids alike. Candidates must meet all state and Nest School requirements, clearing them to work with children in the childcare setting.
