ECE Lead Teacher
Job Title: ECE Lead Teacher for 2 Year Old Class
Location: SIJCC
Hours: Full Time
SIJCC ECE Program serves 120 children in a full-time program in Silver Lake. The SIJCC’s ECE Program is play-based and focused on the development of social and emotional competence.
Our Philosophy
Our ECE Program is play-based program—that is, foundational learning concepts are embedded in every activity, not explicitly drilled or taught. Our primary goals are to develop each child’s self-esteem, promote positive feelings towards learning, and to encourage social interaction within an early childhood setting.
The SIJCC is a center for Jewish education, arts, and culture on the east side of Los Angeles. Driven by the diverse minds of our community, our programs offer thoughtful, innovative, and enriching insight into the world of Jewish culture and tradition.
Each child brings their potential and curiosity to us—we treasure these gifts, and it is our job to provide many opportunities for them to investigate their surroundings. This is the hands-on, child-centered approach that we use to interact with materials and ideas. Children are encouraged to explore, to ask questions, to problem solve, and to experiment. The focus is on engagement in the process, not the product. Any medium can be used to spark discussion and to present opportunities for innovation.
At every opportunity, we are looking to foster:
Self-esteem: A sense of identity, self-respect, and confidence—the knowledge that we are both valued and should value and appreciate others.
Competence: A sense of mastery of both body and mind. We care for our bodies through the food we eat, the interactions we have with others, and the way in which we move. We experience this joy with others when we move together and share our tables.
Peace: A sense of reasoning and responsibility and the ability to solve conflicts and move beyond difficult situations.
Community: A sense of our connectedness to one another. We get along and we take care of our members and actively try to bring people together. We do this as we celebrate together–when we come together we are greater than we are as individuals.
Welcome: A sense that we want many different people together at our table. We do not just understand and tolerate differences; we see them as a path to enrichment and evolution of our community.
Creativity: A sense that we are open to inspiration. We innovate, we build, we make, and we maintain the desire and confidence to create with each other.
Mindfulness: A sense that when we listen, we love. We hear children when they express their fears and their wonder and we are whole enough to model appropriate ways to process those feelings. We create enough space between impulse and action so that choices can be made and we are grateful for these experiences.
Intention: A sense that we must be oriented to all of these values as we interact within our communities. We practice self-control and coping skills, and we rely on our inner strengths to navigate our worlds.
Justice: A sense that we should strive to extend the ideal of fairness to our interactions. We actively repair what has been ruptured and we aim to engage with each other without bias and unfair expectation.
