Job description

Substitute Teachers for Early Childhood Program

Maayan Torah Day School is a warm, nurturing Jewish private school seeking caring, creative, and dependable substitute teachers to join our early childhood team. We are looking for educators who enjoy working with young children and are excited to learn and grow with us.

Our early childhood program serves children from infancy through 5 years of age. Whether you're a college student, someone working part-time, retired, or have a flexible schedule and are looking for extra hours, this could be a great opportunity!

We are building our substitute list to help cover both planned absences and unexpected illnesses. While we occasionally know about openings in advance, many substitute opportunities come up the evening before or even the morning of, so flexibility is important.

We understand that everyone's availability is different. We work with each of our substitute teachers to determine whether they're looking for more on-call opportunities, scheduled shifts planned in advance, or a combination of both. Our goal is to find a schedule that works well for both you and our school.

Many of our substitutes have gone on to become permanent members of our team! In fact, several of our current full-time teachers started as substitutes. If you're looking for an opportunity to gain experience, build relationships, and potentially grow into a larger role, we'd love to meet you.

School Hours

• Monday–Thursday: 8:20 AM – 3:30 PM
• Friday: 8:20 AM – 2:30 PM

We also offer extended care:

• Morning Care: 7:30 AM – 8:20 AM

Substitute shifts may vary depending on the classroom and program needs.

About Our School

Maayan Torah Day School is a religious Jewish school, and our classrooms include Jewish traditions and religious curriculum as part of the school day. You do not need to be Jewish to work here, but applicants should be comfortable working in a faith-based school environment and supporting our school's mission and values.

Requirements

As a licensed childcare facility, the following certifications are required upon hire. Most can be completed online, with the exception of CPR and First Aid, which require in-person training.

Required upon hire:

• Enrollment in the Oregon Criminal History Registry
• Food Handler's Card
• Recognizing and Reporting Child Abuse and Neglect
• Introduction to Health and Safety
• Safe Sleep for Infants and Toddlers
• Foundations for Learning

We look forward to meeting educators who are passionate about creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for young children.
