Job Description JAM Early Education is a Reggio Inspired day school with an emergent curriculum. We plan our curriculum based on principles of development and the needs of the specific children in our classrooms.Each classroom fosters an environment that allows children to learn through exploring the world around them. By exploring, they are given the means to construct their own knowledge and become independent thinkers. For each child we serve, from the youngest infant at 6 weeks old to our preschooler ready to transition to kindergarten, they are being planned for based on their individual interests, needs, and learning goals. We discover this insight of the child by completing observations. We focus on providing children with principle based learning experiences that ignite their curiosity and desire to learn. Our operating hours are 7:00am - 4:00pm daily with an all staff meeting from 4:45-6:15 once a month. We choose to offer the TEACH scholarship to eligible teachers who choose to further their education.

The classroom portion of training includes a 2 week training and shadowing period with the lead teacher of the classroom. It includes observing and hands-on experience. In addition to the training with the lead teacher, new teachers will meet with the Pedagogista to reflect in principle.

A place that recognizes educators as thinkers, researchers, and leaders forging the way to provide the best education and care for young learners. Philosophy Our school is guided by the principles of child development and the philosophy of Reggio Emilia. One principle we uphold is that children learn through the construction of their own knowledge which supports all domains of development. Another guiding principle of the Reggio Emilia philosophy we abide by is that children have "rights." At JAM Early Education we put special focus on the "right to nature" and the "right to create." We are continually improving our practices through the study and application of this philosophy. JAM Early Education believes children have the right to a safe, nurturing, and choice-filled environment. We believe children succeed and learn best when allowed independence, exploration of interests, and expression of their individuality. We promote respect, kindness, beauty, love, order, and a positive environment. We value the religious, economic, cultural, and education diversity of children and families, and we will work with you to incorporate these aspects into the student's day. JAM Early Education provides hands-on activities and real-life experiences. Through these opportunities children find meaning in the work they do thus increasing their depth of learning. We introduce children to ideas starting with the simplest form of an idea (ex. putting on their shoes) and moving into more complexity (ex. tying their own shoes). We believe each child has the capacity for growth and development and is guided to develop in all areas: emotional, social, creative, physical, spiritual, and intellectual. We offer opportunities that are right for their current developmental needs. We strive to nurture the lifelong enthusiasm for learning within each child.
