Early Childhood Fellow (Full-Time Sub)
Glendale Campus
Full-Time, 8:30am - 5:30pm Start Date: Immediate Academic Year Only (10 Months)
Christ Community Lutheran School has an opening to join our ECE team as an Early Childhood Fellow (Full-Time Sub). The ideal candidate will have experience working with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. As an Early Childhood Fellow, you may sub in for a staff member who is out that day or simply provide another set of hands in an extra-busy classroom. You get the variety that comes with a subbing role, but also the stability that comes with a regular staff position.
Is this role for me? This role may be perfect for you if you: - find joy in working with little ones
- feel called to share the love of Jesus
- naturally collaborate in team settings
- enjoy an academic feel to an Early Childhood program
- crave mentorship and monthly check-ins
- thrive with professional development goals and seminars
- enjoy variety from day to day
- love all early childhood ages from infants to 5-year-olds
- want to take a break from planning activities for the classroom, and instead just "roll up your sleeves" to help where needed
- prefer to experience different teacher partners, campus locations, and age levels to find the best long-term fit for future
