Lasell University 4.1
Newton, MA job
The Holway Early Childhood Centers- Barn & Rockwell are located on beautiful 50-acre campus of Lasell University in Newton, MA. Our two centers serve as laboratory schools for the entire university community as a large component of our Connected Learning experience. The centers are open year-round and provide care for children as young as infancy through Pre-Kindergarten. Holway Early Childhood Centers is currently seeking full-time teachers. All teachers report to the Executive Director and Associate Director of the centers. Teachers will be working in a team-teaching environment with two co-teachers. Additional assistance within the classroom offered by Lasell University teacher assistants and work-study students. Our teaching philosophy focuses on Developmentally Appropriate Practices and Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences. Center Philosophy We believe that young children learn through play experiences, intellectual challenges, and their social interaction with both peers and educators*. Young children need to explore at their own pace and in their own style while given ample and appropriate choices and experiences throughout the day. We strongly believe that children have Multiple Intelligences (Gardner, 83). Children have a natural predisposition to learn in different styles and methods. Some children are visual learners while others are very tactile. Some children are more musically inclined while others are very analytical and mathematical. We strive to present each child with the opportunity to find which intelligence best suites them while challenging them to explore others as well. The curriculum, therefore, offers a balance between planned and educator-initiated activities. Supervised free play allows children to explore areas that interest them and thus to contribute their ideas to the program. Children can best master and integrate information through direct personal experiences and free play, while using a vast variety of materials. Children need to be nurtured by warm, responsible adults who are knowledgeable in child development. This allows children to develop as healthy, happy, and competent individuals. Our role as laboratory schools requires a highly educated and experienced staff. In addition, we provide ongoing support for staff development as we encourage educators to continue professional growth through in-service programs, graduate work, workshops, and conferences. Key Responsibilities: Ensure the safety and well-being of all the children in the classroom. Ensure classrooms meet Lasell University and Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care standards and regulations. Plan and implement curriculum to meet the developmental needs of the individual children and the group. Take part in continuous professional development. Continually conduct observations of children and the group using written documentation and assessment tools. Supervise Lasell University students completing practicums/placements. Attend monthly staff meetings, professional development days and community building events.
