THE INTRO PART

Hello! My name is Cari, the Director for Thrive Golden, a play-based learning preschool located in Golden, Colorado. We’re looking for enthusiastic, explorative teachers to join our team!

THE ABOUT US PART

Thrive is a nurturing and supportive community of early childhood professionals that are passionate about the importance of, and interplay between, play and discovery. We currently have four locations, and as we continue to grow as an organization, our desire is to build a team of educators that can grow with us and expand into new roles, experiencing both professional and personal growth.

As a support lead teacher you will work closely with the program director (that’s me, Cari!) and the rest of our incredible teaching and support staff.

Your responsibilities to the children will be…

• Assist the lead teachers in implementation of inquiry-based curriculum, documentation, and work projects of children in accordance with our guiding educational philosophy.
• Cultivate a learning environment that nurtures intellectual, physical, social, emotional, and character development, and is responsive to the diverse needs and learning styles of all children
• Enforce classroom rules for behavior, and procedures to maintain safety and order
• Conduct ongoing observation, assessment, and documentation of students’ learning experiences

Your responsibilities to the parents will be…

• Support families as partners in their child’s learning by: maintaining an open, friendly, and cooperative relationship with each child and family; responding to child and family needs in a timely manner; creating opportunities for family involvement in the classroom; and encouraging family participation

Your responsibilities to the school and your fellow educators will be…

• Plan for equipment and supply needs in conjunction with lead teachers and other program staff (using the budget provided by the school, we don’t believe in educators paying for supplies out of their own pockets)
• Attend all training opportunities and staff meetings as provided and scheduled
• Perform other tasks and duties as deemed necessary by the program director to create an incredible educational environment for the children and families
