Job Summary

The Bowdoin College Children’s Center offers a unique Nature-Based Outdoor Preschool Program that immerses children in the natural world as a central part of their learning experience.

Our philosophy is grounded in supporting children’s emotional needs through secure relationships and responsive caregiving. The Children’s Center emphasizes generous amounts of uninterrupted outdoor play, exploration, and experimentation as key components of our nature-based curriculum.
