Acorn Hill Waldorf Kindergarten and Nursery in Silver Spring, Maryland is seeking a full day teacher who will be an assistant teacher in the morning and become a lead teacher in the afternoon for the school year 23/24, beginning mid-August of 2023. 

This is a salaried position with benefits. We offer regular professional development opportunities, and generous support for Waldorf teacher training.

 We are an outdoor Waldorf preschool on five wooded acres near the city of Washington, D. C.  Our ideal candidate will have an  understanding of Waldorf pedagogy, early childhood education training and teaching experience. Enthusiasm for the value of working outdoors with children is essential, as is a commitment to working collegially.  This position is Monday-Friday from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm, with additional hours for weekly faculty meetings, and for training weeks beginning mid-August of 2023.

All employees must meet Maryland State and Montgomery County licensing requirements. This includes the 90 hour Early Childhood training course, or the equivalent in college credits as well as other required training for health and safety. In addition, a candidate will need to pass a background check, including fingerprinting, and must possess the legal right to work in the United States.

Our school commits to making our school a place where families, faculty and staff of diverse backgrounds feel welcomed and expressly valued. Our faculty and staff strive to bring students to an understanding and experience of the common humanity of all the world’s people–transcending stereotypes, prejudices, and divisive barriers. We will undertake the work necessary to prepare our children and ourselves for the challenges and joys of life in a diverse society.
