Summary
Fidalgo Nature School is seeking substitute teachers for our all-outdoor preschool program for 3-6 year olds at Bowman Bay, in Deception Pass State Park. We are looking for substitute teachers who are available Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday between 9:15 am and 1:45 pm and Wednesdays between 8:15 am and 2:45 pm.
Our licensed, nature-based school aims to provide high-quality and well-rounded education, grounded in emergent outdoor play. The outdoor classroom presents an engaging, dynamic environment for this; our teachers are an essential part of helping students develop a sense of connection with nature, explore themes of compassion, respect and stewardship, and learn through exploration and play. We operate on Coast Salish land, and Indigenous life, past and present, is an important part of what students learn about at Fidalgo Nature School. The Since Time Immemorial curriculum is embedded in our program.
