Summer Employment

Spring Hill Children’s Center is a new preschool and kindergarten initiative that serves the children and families of the greater Monadnock region. Tucked into the hills surrounding Keene, NH, our beautiful campus offers a rich environment for children ages 3-6 to explore the natural world and all its wonders. We are a Waldorf-inspired and Nature-based program. We are seeking teachers and staff who will facilitate curricula based out of a deep respect and understanding of children’s social, emotional, physical, spiritual, intellectual, and cognitive development. Free play, meaningful work, story, song, rhythm, imagination, and connection to the natural world are central to the program. Through this rich variety of activities Spring Hill aims to nourish the whole child, allowing the development of deep trust in themselves, care for others, a wonder-filled connection to nature, and a love of learning.

Primary responsibilities include, but are not limited to: care of the children, implementing the philosophy and policies of Spring Hill, creating a classroom culture of inclusivity and joy, complying with NH child-care licensing requirements, and communicating with staff and parents.
