The Hermitage Club, a premier Private 501(c)(7) Social Club and Ski Area in Southern Vermont, is looking for passionate Part-Time Childcare Teachers to join our licensed Childcare Center for the 2024-2025 winter season! If you love working with children, have a passion for education, and thrive in a nurturing, nature-inspired environment, we want to hear from you!

About Us

Our state-licensed Childcare Center offers a unique setting where children can learn, grow, and play-indoors and out-surrounded by the beauty of the Green Mountains. Operating on weekends and holiday periods from December through April, The Hermitage Club Childcare provides a high-quality experience for the children of our members and guests, focusing on fun, developmentally appropriate activities.

Why You'll Love It Here

• Beautiful Setting: Work in a stunning, nature-filled environment in Wilmington, Vermont.
• Flexible Schedule: Perfect for those seeking part-time, seasonal work during weekends and holidays.
• Supportive Community: Be part of a team that values high-quality care, learning, and outdoor play.

About the Role

As a Childcare Teacher, you will:

• Lead daily classroom activities, including indoor and outdoor play, meal times, and rest periods.
• Oversee assistant staff and ensure the smooth operation of our program.
• Build strong relationships with parents through daily updates about their child's routine, development, and experiences.
• Create and implement a winter season curriculum designed to promote learning, social development, and fun!

What We're Looking For

• Minimum Age: 20 (as required by Vermont Childcare Licensing Standards).
• Experience: At least 12 months working with young children in an educational setting.
• Education: An associate degree (or higher) in Early Childhood, Child Development, or related field-or completion of 21 college credits in a related focus:
  

  • Child Development Associate (CDA) Credential - This is a professional credential specifically for individuals working in early childhood education and can sometimes serve as an equivalent to an associate's degree in education in terms of qualifications for certain childcare positions.

  • Early Childhood Education Diploma or Certificate - Many community colleges and vocational schools offer diplomas or certificates in early childhood education or related fields that cover similar coursework to an associate's degree.

  • Child Care Certificate - Programs like those offered by institutions such as the Community College of Vermont (CCV) may provide certification after completing a specific number of credits focused on early childhood education.

  • Teacher Training Apprenticeships - Programs like the Registered Childcare Apprenticeship Program combine work experience with classroom training and may be considered equivalent.

  • Vermont Early Childhood Career Ladder Level 3 Certificate (or similar programs in other states) - This certification involves training and experience and is often considered on par with an associate's degree.

• Certifications: Pediatric First Aid and Infant/Child CPR (or willingness to obtain within 4 weeks of hire).

• Availability: Must be available weekends and holidays from December to April, with a minimum of 15 days of availability per season.

Physical Demands

• Able to lift up to 50 lbs.
• Comfortable working in a winter environment and moving frequently at children's level.
• Ability to stay calm during one-on-one interactions with upset children.

Compensation

• $22 - $26 per hour, depending on experience and education.
