Natural Start Preschool

We are not currently hiring.  

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.

Hours:

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.

• Previous teaching experience with children ages 3-4
• Passion, energy, and enthusiasm for working with young children
• Able to assist the Lead Teacher with daily routines, curriculum activities, and positive behavior   management

• Willingness to spend time outdoors with our students in all kinds of weather. Previous experience with nature-based education is a plus!
