Early Childhood Education Teacher; Infant & Toddler​/Preschool

Overview

Early Childhood Education Teacher (Infant & Toddler/Preschool) – Woodmere, LA

Wilcox Academy of Early Learning is currently accepting applications to join our professional teaching team. We are more than just the sum of our expanding footprint of 4-Star early learning centers; we are a "fresh approach" to early learning that provides enriched early childhood education to the children of New Orleans. To us, it's more than childcare, it's a culture of care, where every child is viewed as an individual with a unique developmental profile and learns across a variety of developmental areas.

We are looking for qualified teachers and coaches to join our team who are ready to Love. Learn. Lead. Come work where your work is celebrated and supported in a positive, professional environment.

Mission: Our mission is to promote the physical, cognitive, emotional and social development of children. We are responsible to give our little people the confidence and the tools that will guide them on their life's journey. In addition, we develop partnerships with parents and guardians to keep them connected to the classroom activities.

Philosophy: We believe that the child who is "loved" has the confidence to love others; the child who "learns" to love learning will thirst for knowledge; and the child who has been loved and educated will "lead" their peers and the world.

Work Environment: Through teacher interaction and age-appropriate programming through play, WAEL serves children ages 8 weeks to 5 years old. The focus is on families and relationships, environment, supervision, health and safety, curriculum, teaching, child assessment, behavior & guidance, professional development, and collaboration.
