Job Details

Turning Sun School (preschool ages 1-5) is seeking candidates interested in working as a Full Time Lead Educator at our Clairmont campus for the 2019-20 academic year. Full Time positions are salaried with paid time off. The schedule for this position is 8:00am to 4:00pm, Monday through Friday. 

Turning Sun is a progressive preschool community inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach and place-based education, focusing on our local community and natural world. We build our year around seasonal celebrations and class projects following an emergent curriculum. We are a non-religious, open and affirming program which welcomes families and staff regardless of gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, race, creed, or ethnicity.

In addition to a strong desire to learn and grow as an educator, applicants must be organized, reliable, open-minded, creative, kind, and have a passion for young children and families. 

To be considered for the Lead Educator position, applicants must have a current Child Development Associate (CDA), a Technical Certificate of Credit (TCC) in Early Childhood Education or Child Development, or a Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university in Early Childhood Education or Child Development. Experience with project-based learning, nature/hiking, the Atlanta community, the arts, and the Reggio Emilia approach are pluses.

All employees must comply with certain state regulatory requirements, including a mandatory comprehensive background check and fingerprinting and required paperwork.

Company

Turning Sun School is on a mission to build an inclusive, collaborative community that inspires children to realize their infinite capabilities, explore and appreciate their natural world and local community, and discover the joy of learning. Children are our future. We all want the best for them. But in our haste to prepare them for kindergarten (and the world), we must never tell them how to think. The minute we discourage children from questioning and thinking independently, we stifle the magical qualities they have yet to develop and offer to our world.

At Turning Sun, our collaborative community of educators and families works to instill a love of learning in our students. That means learning together to take risks, fail, make messes, develop incorrect theories, and to feel safe in thinking differently. Different is good. Different is beautiful. Different is essential.
