Current Teaching Opportunities

All serious candidates can submit a resume and cover-letter to Josephine following the button below.

We are currently looking for A Part - Full Time Co-Teacher!

We are looking for a new co-teacher to join our team beginning January 2025, with the possibility of starting training sooner for the right candidate. Applicants should have at least one year of experience teaching children ages 2-5 years old in a classroom setting, and/or holds a bachelors degree or 5+ years experience working with young children in some capacity. This position has flexible hours ranging from 20 - 35 hours per week. We’ll build a consistent weekly schedule together that meets both our needs in terms of hours and days per week, preferably including Tue/Thurs/Fri but we can be flexible for the right candidate. Most, or all hours will be worked in our 12-student classroom in a direct care role, as part of our co-teaching team with the possibility of filling some hours (as interested & mutually determined) through work in our attached Studio, either leading or supporting our monthly community classes, workshops and events as we build out our studio schedule for the new year.

We are looking for a candidate who is a collaborative team player, filled with joy and initiative, is open-minded and a life-long-learner - bonus points for having experience with, or foundational understanding of the Reggio Emilia Approach. While education and experience are of course important to us, we are primarily seeking a teacher who loves the work of early childhood, who can comfortably navigate the busyness of the classroom setting, and who is patient, warm and nurturing by nature.

Please browse our website before applying, and familiarize yourself with our About Us page to learn about our play-centered program, child-led teaching philosophy, and our team to ensure our approach aligns with yours. If this all sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you, so please send your resume to josephine@westendvillageschool.com! We look forward to welcoming in the next member of the WEVS teaching team!

Benefits Include:

  • A professional, supportive, joyful and creative work environment with flexibility and opportunity to grow both in the classroom and through possible work in our community studio space, and creatively/professionally, and as an individual.

  • Delicious daily school provided lunch and snacks, prepared by our own school Chef

  • Generous paid time off and holiday/vacation pay and professional work hours (we roughly follow the public school calendar and have considerably more days/time off than many traditional childcare programs), and paid lunch breaks.

  • Paid professional development time and support/growth opportunities

  • Starting pay ranging from $16-20 per hour depending on education and experience

  • Monthly, State-provided bonuses based on experience and education (tied to Maine Roads to Quality Tier-rating) currently ranging from $240-$540.
