Germantown Elementary SD #60 is hoping to start a transitional kindergarten program for the 2022-23 school year. This program will serve 4 year olds that are not part of our morning PreK program and 5 year olds whose parents opted to wait a year to send their child to kindergarten. We envision transitional kindergarten being a bridge between PreK and kindergarten with the focus remaining on play-based learning while also incorporating a little more in the way of structured activities. It will be a full day, tuition-based program that meets every day that school is in session from 8:30-3:05.
We are looking for a rock star teacher with early childhood certification to develop and lead this program. This is an opportunity of a lifetime for one lucky teacher to be part of building something new from the ground up and leading the way to full implementation of the program next August. While the teaching assignment would officially begin in August of 2022, the groundwork will begin as soon as we have a candidate ready to take on this exciting endeavor. Stipend pay will be offered for time spent developing the program. The work can be completed on nights and weekends so as not to interfere with the candidate’s work or school schedule.
If you are passionate about early childhood education, possess strong leadership skills, and are driven by challenge, please consider sending your resume and cover letter to Robin Becker at rbecker@ges60.org. We are eager to get started planning for this program.
