More about Interview Process

Our Neighborhood teachers all work in a co-teaching team. We do not have a hierarchy of teachers. Collaboration and team working skills are essential.
Our strongest inspirations come from the Schools of Reggio Emilia, Resources for Infant Educarers (RIE), Conscious Discipline by Dr. Becky Bailey, Circle of Security, and the works of Margie Carter and Deb Curtis. Reading information about these inspirations on our website and from other sources will help to prepare you for your interview.
Our Neighborhood has health insurance, dental, 401K, family leave, child care tuition discounts, and paid professional development.

Teaching in a Play-Based

Learning Program

Our Neighborhood believes children learn through play! We believe knowledge is constructed through play. We see relationships as a strong driver of learning. A big part of teachers' role is caring for, loving on, and connecting with children.

When teachers build mutually respectful relationships they can see children's learning through play. Teachers observe closely to document children's explorations so that others can see the deep learning that happens while children are at play. When teachers engage with children they can extend learning. Teachers bring in, organize, and prepare materials for children to deepen their exploration.

Teachers bring their authentic selves to learn alongside children. Our Neighborhood teachers play, teach, learn, and get messy!
