Job Description
Are you ready to swap the "office grind" for finger painting, epic block towers, and a team that feels like family? At The Children’s Hour Academy, we believe teaching is a work of heart and we’re looking for someone whose heart is as big as their imagination!
Why You’ll Love It Here
Forget being just another face in a large center. We are a well-established school (30+ years!) in Lake Oswego that prides itself on a "whole child" approach. We focus on social, emotional, and intellectual growth in a warm setting where every child and teacher is celebrated.
The Perks of the Job:
- Tiny Teams, Big Impact: Our class sizes are capped at just 8–15 students, allowing you to actually teach and build real bonds.
- Never Stop Growing: Enjoy paid teacher training throughout the year to keep your skills sharp.
- A Full Benefits Package: We’ve got you covered with Health, Dental, and Life insurance stipends, plus PTO after your first six months.
- A Vibrant Culture: From American Sign Language and Spanish to music and soccer, our days are filled with variety and joy!
- What We’re Looking For
We are seeking a Qualified Teacher for our Infant, Toddler, Preschool, or Pre-K rooms who is ready to jump into the fun.
Your "Backpack" of Qualifications:
- Education: An AA Degree in ECE, Human Development, or Elementary Education.
- Experience: At least one year in a certified childcare facility.
- The Basics: Oregon Food Handler’s, Pediatric CPR/First Aid, and Child Abuse Neglect Training (or the ability to get them!).
- The Physical Stuff: Must be able to lift at least 60 lbs. and keep up with our energetic explorers.
- The Fine Print: Successful Oregon Criminal History Registry status and a pass on our (paid-for!) drug and alcohol screening.
