At The Willow School, we believe childhood should be protected, honored, and filled with wonder.

We are a Reggio-inspired early childhood community seeking educators who view children as capable, curious, and deserving of meaningful relationships and thoughtfully prepared environments. We are looking for collaborative, reflective, and compassionate educators who are passionate about early childhood education and committed to creating spaces where children, families, and teachers feel deeply connected and supported.

This is not a traditional childcare environment. Our classrooms are rooted in relationship-based teaching, inquiry, creativity, outdoor learning, and the belief that the environment acts as the third teacher. We value educators who are curious alongside children, intentional in their work, and excited to be part of a collaborative school culture.

Our educators are seen as professionals, co-constructors of learning, and important contributors to our school community.
