Our Learning Community– “Nothing without Joy!”
At Epiphany Early Learning, we are a caring community of children, families and educators who have a strong commitment to cultural relevancy and anti-bias/anti-racist education and who draw inspiration from the schools of Reggio Emilia, Italy. We keep our values at the heart of every aspect of our practice with children and families. We hold the following values at the core of our work:
Relationship at the Center. We believe in growing empathy and understanding between children, teachers and the community; teaching children to work collaboratively with other individuals; and helping children build a strong and meaningful relationship with the natural world. In all of these arenas, children and adults co-construct knowledge and build curriculum together.
Children as Capable and Deserving of Respect. We hold an image of the child as strong and competent. We trust each child in our care to be an active participant in his or her own educational experience.
Learning Through Play. We believe that children have the right to learn within a context of exploration and play and do everything we can to protect what we see as the essential elements of childhood - long stretches of uninterrupted time, open-ended materials, real and meaningful work, and plenty of time in the natural world; all explored through play.
Social Justice. We value cultural relevancy and anti-bias/anti-racist learning and believe that it is essential to continue our own individual and collective professional development as an organization committed to undoing institutionalized racism.
Teachers as Researchers. Teachers are life-long learners and valued resources. Children, families and the field as a whole, benefit when teachers are given regular opportunities to continue to grow professionally and contribute to the field in turn.
Preschool Teacher
We are seeking a passionate, reflective teacher to work with 2.5-5 year olds for the coming school year. We seek educators who approach their daily work with joy and reflection, are committed to anti-bias/anti-racist practices, aim for true partnership with families, and delight in side-by-side work with children and co-teachers. Please check out the job announcement here. If you are interested in applying, please submit a cover letter and resume to the director at juliebisson@epiphanyearlylearning.org. Positions available immediately.
We value diversity and what it brings to our lives. All are welcome and encouraged to apply!
