Part Time

Entry Level

Ready for a role that’s equal parts fun and fulfilling? Wonderspring is looking for a creative, enthusiastic Assistant Teacher to join our before- and after-school programs. You’ll get hands-on experience in classroom management while sparking the imaginations of energetic elementary students.

Become part of an organization that not only values FUN but also focuses on developing your skills and talents.

What You’ll Get to Do (and Have Fun Doing!)

Team up with the Lead Teacher to rock those curriculum-based lesson plans—bring on the crafts and circle time sing-alongs!
Keep an eagle eye on our adventurers, ensuring their well-being and comfort. Less “No, don’t do that!” and more “Let’s try it this way!”
Maintain a cheerful, can-do attitude with children, parents, and colleagues (yes, even when someone spills glitter everywhere!).
Gently guide children toward positive behavior choices using techniques like FLIP IT and Second Step.
Observe, document, and celebrate each child’s progress, sharing their victories (big and small) with proud parents.
