About the job
Our classroom aides love children. The applicant should have clearances and first aid/CPR training (preschool will pay for clearances and first aid/CPR training upon hiring). Candidate must be 18 years of age. Must agree to support the preschool's faith statement. Assistant will assist the classroom teacher with all classroom responsibilities - including set up and take down of activities throughout the day and at the end of the day, supervision of students, cleaning the classroom & toys, cutting, copying and laminating, assisting with record keeping, modeling appropriate behavior for students and substituting for the teacher in her absence. The ideal person would have high energy, understand child development, be able to view things from a positive point of view, be dependable and attend work on a consistent basis. This position will be shared between the 2-year-old and 4-year-old classes and will also work in our lunch room. The day is busy and fast paced. You will work to manage classroom behavior and follow the daily routine, in order to allow the teacher to conduct lessons. You will be expected to build rapport and trust with the students that you serve. Your job will be essential to the classroom operation. If you enjoy the sweetness of children, but don't want the extra work of planning and record keeping this position would be ideal for you. The schedule is ideal for a mother of school aged children. You would have holidays off and your afternoons free! We would consider splitting the position for someone who wanted to work only 2-3 days per week. Please consider joining our team of fun-loving, Christian women. The hours are 8-1 p.m. on Mondays through Fridays from now until May 2025 (or longer). Salary is stretched throughout the entire year.
