    • Ability to perform emotional labor for children who are discovering their feelings and navigating new social contexts, and care for children's physical needs.

    • Experience with guidance/social coaching and conflict resolution for young children.

    • Experience with child assessment and parent-teacher conferences.

    • A willingness to grow and increase knowledge in the field and seek innovative approaches.

    • Exhibit joy in working with children and families.

    • Embrace the school's mission and practice WNS values

    • Must be fingerprinted and cleared with a background check through the NY State Office of Children and Family Services.
