Job Description

Next school year we plan to start a second classroom of children who are 3.5-5 years old, 3-4 mornings a week. We are seeking to find someone to carry or grow into carrying this group of children. We currently have a small daycare/nursery program for toddlers, 3 mornings a week and offer a parent-child group one morning a week on the beautiful land of Sun Heart Farm, a 90-acre educational and therapeutic farm in Stephentown, NY. We are striving to build small-scale early childhood programming on the farm to meet the developmental and therapeutic needs of all children. Steiner spoke about curative education as a deepening of Waldorf education and we recognize this as a necessity to serve all young children as they weather the influences of our world’s challenges and are simultaneously bringing the new, humanity’s future potential. We carry this picture of curative education as a deepening of Waldorf education alongside the support of anthroposophic preventative healthcare as central to our work and offerings here for the children. A commitment to ongoing study and learning together in the light of anthroposophy is central to this initiative. Be in touch to connect even if the position isn't exactly what you're looking for but you'd like to connect and speak about other possibilities! There is a room for rent here on the farm with a shared community space and bathroom and kitchen access for a substance-free individual. We also have a summer camp and other ways to plug into life on the farm (some assisting with the younger children as a paid position; lots of volunteer opportunities with the animals and gardens and other projects TBD) and other farms, schools and businesses in the area through which to pick up additional work. Contact us at [email protected] for more information and to apply.
