Children’s Center of the Stanford Community Hiring for Little Kid’s Place (2-3.5 years old) Teacher at Stanford University Job at Stanford, CA Full Time

The Children’s Center of the Stanford Community (CCSC) is celebrating 50 years of quality child care and has opened a brand new state-of-the-art facility in the heart of the Stanford University. We have rare openings for dedicated, experienced early childhood professionals eager to work with preschool children.

We have a team teaching model and are looking for someone committed to ongoing professional growth and development.

CCSC was established in 1969 in Stanford University as a parent cooperative child care center and the very first child care center on campus. Our strength comes from the strong collaboration among parents, teachers, and the administrative staff dedicated to the well-being of children 8 weeks to 5 years of age. We take a child-centered, hands-on approach to learning—drawing inspiration from the work of Magda Gerber, Piaget, Vygotsky, and the schools of Reggio Emilia, Italy, among others. You may learn more about CCSC through our website at ccsc.stanford.edu.
