EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION | OUR BEGINNING SCHOOL | SEATTLE, WA

Our Beginning School, a Reggio Emilia-inspired early learning school in Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood, is seeking thoughtful, dependable individuals to join our educational community. We believe every child is capable, competent, curious, and full of potential. We seek educators who respect children, value relationships with families, and are committed to continued learning.

Available Positions

Associate Teacher | $23.50–$25.50 per hour

Work in partnership with a Teacher-Researcher to create meaningful learning experiences, observe and document children’s learning, prepare engaging environments, and share responsibility for daily classroom operations. This is an active educational partnership—not simply an assistant role.

  • Strong communication, collaboration, dependability, and professional initiative.
  • Interest in Reggio Emilia-inspired education and professional growth.
  • Ability to meet applicable Washington State DCYF qualifications for the position.

Previous early childhood education experience is preferred; candidates beginning their careers are also encouraged to apply.

Benefits and Professional Growth

  • 100% employer-paid base medical, dental, and vision insurance premiums for eligible employees working at least 35 hours per week.
  • Health insurance buy-up options for eligible employees who choose enhanced coverage and pay the additional premium.
  • Paid Winter Break, including Christmas Day and New Year’s Day, plus 9 additional paid holidays.
  • Paid time off (PTO), Employee Assistance Program (EAP), and 401(k) retirement program.
  • Paid Professional Development Days, opportunities for advancement and leadership development, and other benefits subject to eligibility and school policies.

Compensation is based on relevant education, qualifications, experience, and demonstrated professional competencies.

Join an educational community where children are respected, educators are valued, and professional growth is encouraged.
