Early Childhood Educator – Make an Impact!
Sandwich Children’s Center (SCC) in Center Sandwich, NH seeks a full-time early childhood educator to assist in our toddler and preschool classrooms. Now under new leadership as of September 2022, SCC is on a mission to become a best practice child-led, nature-inspired early childhood education center in the northeast. SCC fosters the development of the whole child and nurtures their curiosity for learning about themselves, the natural world, and the communities around them.
Are you passionate about raising the next generation of socially responsible, compassionate, curious, and resilient children? Do you believe in providing an inclusive environment in which all children can learn and grow through play? Sandwich Children’s Center is looking for you!
We are seeking a teacher who has experience with and is confident working with children ages 12 months-5 years old. You will work alongside our experienced and credentialed lead teachers as a floater, supporting each classroom’s children and programming.
SCC is a play-based, child-led, nature-inspired, family centered program. Both our toddler and preschool programs are strongly influenced by RIE (Resources for Infant Educators; founded by Magda Gerber) which promotes immense respect for the child as an autonomous human being. We spend a large amount of time outdoors every day, in all seasons and in all weather. Applicants must enjoy being outside with children in all seasons. Successful candidates will be flexible and collaborative, able to relate sensitively to people of all ages and backgrounds, and possess a deep and abiding love and respect for children.
In the toddler room, you will be working with Sarah Love, a passionate and dedicated life-long learner who values respectful communication, collaborative problem solving, and authentic and joyful engagement. Sarah has more than 10 years of experience as an early childhood educator in New Hampshire and California, and holds specialized certificates in Anti-Bias Curriculum, Working with Culturally Diverse Families, Curriculum Planning, and Peace Education & Children's Literature. She also holds Montessori certificates from the UCSB Extension Montessori World Institute with a focus on early childhood.
In the preschool room, you will support Kasia Beznoska, whose passions include helping children discover their own true, warm-hearted nature and develop skills for social-emotional literacy and conflict resolution. Kasia graduated from Northeastern University with a degree in psychology, studied early childhood education at Southern Maine Community College, and is a certified Children’s Yoga Instructor. Kasia was the founding director and lead preschool teacher at Little Swans Preschool in Sanbornton. She has led workshops on Mindfulness in Outdoor Education through the In Bloom Nature Conferences with Antioch University, and at Abundance Farm in Northhampton, MA.
SCC offers competitive pay commensurate with experience, paid time off, and professional development. Applicants should be available for our school-year program Monday-Friday, September-June, 8:00-4:00. Possible summer employment is available, but not required.

Sandwich Children’s Center is located in Center Sandwich, a picturesque small town which borders Squam Lake and the White Mountains and is within 20 minutes of the towns of Center Harbor, Meredith, Moultonborough, Tamworth, and Holderness.
