Who are we?
We are a small private, progressive, nature-based playschool in east/central Austin. We serve 2—5 year olds at a 10 student capacity.
Who are you?
You are passionate about child-led learning, Montessori/Reggio Emilia/ Waldorf methodologies and have taught using one or more of these styles.

Your teaching styles focus on compassion, caring for others, for nature, and the earth. You are creative, highly self-motivated, and can transition quickly/easily with the students’ always changing energies. You have taught this age, but are looking for something part-time, for a work/life balance.
