El Rio Community School, which will be entering into its fourth year of operations for the 2023-2024 school year, seeks a TK/Kindergarten teacher to join its early childhood teaching team. El Rio has three mixed-age kindergartens, and offers a play-based, developmentally focused, whole child curriculum based on the integration of practical and artistic activities, imaginative play, and embedded state standards for literacy and math through storytelling, drama, poetry, singing, cooking, and outdoor activities.
