Assistant Teachers

To be a teacher at The Breakie Bunch you have to be awesome. A typical day will involve laughter, hugs from children (Yes, maybe with some boogers for your shoulder), teaching, exploring, building relationships, reading books, singing songs, dancing and lots of smiles. We do not enjoy working with "Debbie Downers," attending pity parties, or listening to excuses. We do however love to lift each other up when we are having a tough day, remind each other of the bright side when it seems dark and support each other when we need help solving a problem.

The afternoon assistant teacher is a part time position from about 12:00/1:00-6:00 Monday through Friday. You will be expected to assist the lead teacher with any work related task, keep children safe and learning, build relationships with parents, maintain a clean, loving, friendly environment and as always, be awesome.
