At Little Wings, children are viewed as capable, curious, and active participants in their learning. Our program is grounded in strong relationships, intentional environments, inquiry, collaboration, and respect for children’s ideas.

• Build strong, trusting relationships with children, families, and educators
• Support weekly educator planning time, collaboration, reflection, and professional development
• Help ensure classroom environments and teaching practices reflect the school’s Reggio-inspired philosophy
• Contribute to the development of systems, procedures, and a positive school culture
What We’re Looking For
• At least five years of experience working with young children
• At least two years of leadership or supervisory experience in early childhood education
• Experience with the Reggio Emilia approach strongly preferred, but not required
