Our Curriculum Planning Float is primarily responsible for rotating through each classroom throughout the week to ensure that all Lead Teachers have dedicated office time to develop lesson plans and complete their administrative tasks. The Curriculum Planning Float will help teach and engage in activities throughout our Early Learning Academy. Our Curriculum Planning Float has an incredible opportunity to shape the lives of the kids that we serve and make a lasting difference in their development. Join our team and discover the power of your impact and the tangible difference you can make in our community.

These are some of the things our Curriculum Planning Float will do:

• Collaborate with the Lead Teacher to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment that supports the developmental needs of the children in our care.
• Assist in the development and implementation of age-appropriate curriculum, activities, and routines.
• Provide gentle and attentive care to meet the individual needs of each child, including feeding, diapering, napping, and maintaining a clean and hygienic environment.
• Maintain a safe and organized classroom, ensuring compliance with licensing standards and health and safety regulations.
• Serve lunch and snacks as scheduled and clean up any spills and messes afterwards.
• Ensure the children we serve are learning positive behaviors, providing guidance and appropriate corrective actions when needed.
• Maintain a safe environment by being alert to the needs and problems of individual children and responding to urgent situations when needed.
• Provide direction to the Assistant Teachers in the classroom as necessary. 
• Responsible for all other duties and tasks as assigned by the Early Learning Program Director.

This is what the schedule looks like:

• This is a full time position working weekday and daytime shifts. Our program is closed nights and weekends.

Here’s what we can offer for pay and benefits:

• Discounted childcare rates for dependents are available. All full time employees are eligible for a 65% tuition discount. Based on household income and household size, employees may also be eligible for our general scholarship program, which covers up to 100% of the cost.

We have some great trainers that can teach you a lot, but there are a few things we look for in our Curriculum Planning Float:

• Strong interpersonal and communication skills are important when working with children.
• Reliability is essential – the children in our programs depend on our Lead Teachers to be on time and have good attendance, because the quality of our programming and their care is not the same when our team isn't there.
• Previous experience, education, or training in early childhood development and behaviors is required.
• A valid CPR certification or the ability to obtain and maintain CPR certification within 90 days of employment is required. CPR training and certification is provided in-house by Boys & Girls Clubs of the Sioux Empire.
