The Waldorf School of Saratoga Springs is hiring an Forest Kindergarten Teacher for the fall of 2024. Our ideal candidate will have Early Childhood Waldorf teacher training, experience working in a Waldorf Early Childhood program, work collaboratively with parents and colleagues, and exude joy in teaching and learning.

The Waldorf School of Saratoga Springs was founded in 1981 and currently serves approximately 135 children from preschool through Grade 8.

Our Early Childhood program houses parent-child, preschool, and mixed-aged kindergarten classes. The lower school serves Grades 1 through 8 and offers a richness of experience through main lesson content and special subjects (woodwork, handwork, Spanish, music, movement, eurythmy, and spacial dynamics). Saratoga Springs is a charming Victorian resort town nestled in the foothills of the Adirondacks with a population of approximately 30,000. We are three hours from Boston, New York City, and Montreal. Our location offers four delightful seasons, proximity to both wilderness and major cities, and a comfortable small-town feeling.

We have a thriving music and theater life, restaurants, shops and community events.For more information, please visit our website: www.waldorfsaratoga.org.
