Join our team...
Amigos del Bosque Spanish Nature Preschool is hiring passionate and enthusiastic nature teachers/naturalists and subteachers to co- teach and learn along with children between 3- 6 years old. Our program runs from September through May and summer camps in June.
Our preschool operates 90% outside and is immersed in nature. We work and learn together under the premise: “There’s no bad weather, just bad clothing”. Embracing nature and learning in any kind of weather and keeping a positive attitude is a basic skill that we look for in our teachers.
Amigos del Bosque also believes in child led and emergent curriculum. We encourage risky play, where the child can discover and be guided to assess and know risky situations and problem solve. The teacher becomes a facilitator and co-learner among the children.
