Little Sprouts Instructor-Nature Center 2023-2024 School Year - Joliet, United States - Joliet Park District
Description
Job Description
Job DescriptionProgram Description: The Little Sprouts Early Learning Center program is dedicated to bringing children and nature together. The program offers experiences typically found in child-centered learning centers; however, Little Sprouts focuses on daily interactions with nature, animals, and plant life. Research has found that children who spend more time in nature pay attention better, think more clearly, and are able to cope more effectively with stress. The nature curriculum is based on seasonal changes. Topics reflect current events in the natural world and provide the basis for daily outdoor discovery plus: creative arts, large & small motor skill development, math & manipulative activities, natural science exploration, language experiences and construction play.
Little Sprouts is more appropriate for children whose families are looking for discovery-based learning rather than traditional lessons that are scheduled and confined by curriculum objectives. Natural themes and materials are incorporated throughout indoor and outdoor activities. Our program operates for nine months starting September and ending in early May. There are 2 instructors leading a maximum of 15 students aged 3-5 who must be potty-trained.
JOB SUMMARY:
Under the direction and supervision of the Little Sprouts Director, the Instructor is responsible for all planning, implementation, and supervision of the day-to-day activities for pre-school aged students. Instructors are responsible for direct supervision of children and providing a safe and educational environment for them.
