CURRENT OPENING

We are hiring an Assistant Preschool Teacher for our Junior Explorers (3’s/4’s) class. Workdays will be Tuesdays and Thursdays during the preschool year. 

Description:

We are a nature-based preschool combining Kindergarten readiness with experiences in nature, physical activity, and environmental education. We are located at the South Bellevue Community Center and the adjoining 40-acre Eastgate Park. Regular preschool hours are from 9:00am-12:00pm, and our students spend a minimum of 1-2 hours outside each day hiking, playing, exploring nature, and gardening.

The approximate hours are from 8:30 am to 12:15 pm (about 3.75 hours per day). This is a 10-month preschool program that follows the Bellevue School District calendar for holidays, breaks, and school closings. This is a great opportunity for parents with children in school, as our preschool is off during the summer and during the same holidays and breaks as the Bellevue School District.
