Chesapeake Arts Center Seeks Early Childhood Arts Program Teacher

Posted on June 21, 2023 by Chesapeake Arts Center

Chesapeake Arts Center is seeing a part-time lead instructor for our new early childhood arts-based program: Mini Makers!

Mini Makers is CAC’s new process art education program for students ages 3.5-5 with a mission to nurture each individual’s learning process and instill lifelong habits of creativity. Our play-based curriculum will give students the opportunity to explore and create in a safe and supportive environment, while building important skills such as idea generation, problem solving, and social skills.

The lead instructor should possess a thorough understanding of early childhood development, be passionate about working with children and have a patient, kind demeanor. Because this is an arts-based education program, they should also be knowledgeable about a wide variety of art mediums suitable for preschool-aged children as well as developmentally appropriate learning experiences and methodologies. Additionally, the lead instructor must be skilled in classroom management and have the ability to develop and modify appropriate lesson plans.

This is a grant-funded, part-time, contract position from September 2023 - May 2024 on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Compensation is $25-30 per teaching hour, plus additional planning time.

Qualifications:

-High School Diploma; Bachelor's degree and/or Childcare Certification preferred

-Knowledgeable about early childhood art methodologies, teaching strategies and classroom management

-Commitment to working in a diverse, inclusive setting
