Aventuras Forest School is excited to share that we’re looking to hire a new Outdoor Preschool Teacher ASAP in the Los Angeles Area. We pride ourselves in offering strong pay, great benefits and the BEST working environment in LA! Must be fluent in Spanish. We look forward to hearing from you!

Summary

Attention Spanish speakers, passionate educators, and outdoor enthusiasts! Aventuras Forest School is hiring! Please see details and apply here: https://www.indeed.com/job/outdoor-preschool-teacher-22b2cf733d684cb8

We're a small educational organization that is rethinking early childhood education from the ground up (literally). Aventuras is the first language-immersion forest preschool in Southern California. Led by a Harvard-trained education researcher, our motto is simple: learn like a human. Our 100% outdoor school features an emergent curriculum situated in a gorgeous natural setting.

Aventuras serves ages 3 to 6, and is strongly informed by the forest school model. If you've ever tried to cartwheel across a meadow or catch a frog in a stream, or dreamed of creating the ideal setting for a young child to explore their inner and outer worlds, we want to hear from you!

The ideal candidate will have experience working with young children, and a love of the outdoors. Native-level fluency in Spanish is required and must be specified in your application for consideration. Candidates must also be comfortable carrying a small child or pulling a supply wagon short distances over uneven ground, and providing potty assistance to our little ones.

Working hours are M-F 8:30am-1:30pm M-Th, 8:30-5pm F, with additional (flexible) hours potentially available for planning/administration and opportunities for revenue-sharing in supplemental programs like our Parent & Me classes.
