Job Description

This is a part-time, hourly position. We are hiring a Preschool Program Assistant for 3-days-a-week schedule, and another Assistant for a 5-days-per-week schedule.

Summary:

The Preschool Program Assistant at San Francisco Waldorf School is a trained Waldorf Early Childhood teacher or currently enrolled in the Waldorf Teacher Training Program. The assistant should understand Preschool school life as well as have an interest in the school as a whole. In order to create a harmonious environment, flexibility, presence, and a cooperative spirit are essential for the children to receive the teacher and assistant as a guiding unit.

Responsibilities include:

  • Holding the class with a sense of order and rhythm
  • Attending to the physical, emotional, and individual needs of the young children (2-4 years old)
  • Creating and maintaining classroom mood
  • Supervising indoor/outdoor play, clean–up time, bathroom, hand washing, etc.
  • Caring for and preparation of classroom materials
  • Planning and preparing weekly snacks and keeping track of snack supplies
  • Organizing and carrying out special activities and helping with craft projects
  • Participating in circle time by learning and sharing seasonal poems, songs and stories

Hours and Meetings:

The Preschool Assistant will work three days per week or five days per week (depending on role preference), from 7:45 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. , on a mutually agreed-upon schedule. Occasional selected weekend hours may be requested before and/or after holiday breaks for cleaning and seasonal classroom set-up. The Preschool Program Assistant will help the teacher in the preparation of the classroom at the beginning of the school year and in the clean-up at the end of the school year.

Meeting attendance will be determined in coordination with the Lead Teacher and may include one Preschool team meeting per week and occasional all-staff or Early Childhood meetings, as applicable. The Assistant may also be invited to participate in parent evenings, enrollment events, or parent-teacher conferences, based on availability.

We recognize this is a reduced-schedule position, and we will coordinate responsibilities and meeting expectations accordingly to support both the needs of the program and the part-time nature of the role.

Qualifications:

  • Waldorf Teacher Training completed or in progress
  • 12 Early Childhood Education units (ECEs) completed or 3 completed and more in progress

California law requires fingerprinting and TB Assessment. Preschool Program teachers need to comply with the requirements set forth by the State of California licensing standards (Early Childhood Education coursework, CPR training and required vaccinations).

Benefits and Compensation:

$32.50 per hour.

This is a part-time, hourly position. This position carries no benefits other than those available through the San Francisco City Ordinances. 

Physical Requirements and Work Environment:

  • Be able to occasionally lift up to 30 lbs.
  • Work intermittently in outside weather conditions, including heat and cold
  • Regularly sitting or standing 4-8 hours

We recognize that the range of ethnicities, nationalities, languages, socio-economic backgrounds, sexual orientation, learning differences, and life experiences within our community enhance the school’s learning environment, and we are committed to fostering equity and inclusion.

SFWS asks all employees to proactively commit to diversity, equity, and inclusion; personal improvement; and service to the SFWS mission, bringing energy and excitement to serve the students, faculty, and families of the school.
