At Stephen Wise Free Synagogue’s Early Childhood Center, values of progressive education, creative play-based experiences, and building a strong Jewish identity have always been central to our educational mission. We remain true to these core traditions, responsive to the changing needs of families, and committed to innovation and excellence.
Our philosophy is based on the world-renowned schools of Reggio Emilia, Italy, which value children as capable, strong, and rich with wonder and knowledge. We believe in a constructivist, play-based approach to education. Through play, our children are empowered to explore their surroundings, form relationships with teachers and peers, and work with a wide variety of materials to create, experiment, and discover. Our children learn in meaningful contexts, using everyday moments as opportunities for growth and learning.
We are looking for a Head Teacher who can work collaboratively with fellow teachers, partner with parents and provide a warm stimulating learning environment for children who are 2 or 3. If you consider yourself a lifelong learner, believe in progressive education and are looking for a collaborative and supportive environment that prioritizes professional development, Stephen Wise ECC is the right place for the next step in your early childhood education career.
