When do part time staff work?

  • Please review the shifts listed at this link and send an email to our office staff noting which shifts you want to work. The easiest way is to cut & paste the shifts you are interested in working into an email.

  • Pay is by shift, and is the equivalent of $18 per hour.

  • Shifts are typically listed at the beginning of the season.

  • Crossed-out shifts indicate we do not need any additional PT help during those time blocks.

  • All approved shifts will be confirmed via email.

How many shifts are available?

  • We often have a lot of shifts available and can generally accomodate as much or as little help as you are able to give.

  • We recommend listing all the shifts you are interested in working, and we’ll work from there.

  • We generally fill shifts on a first-come first-served basis.

Is training required?

  • No. Based on your skills and experience we may provide you with some short training upon arrival. But in all cases, you will be working with and assisting our full-time staff, and so training is not required.

  • All Part-time teachers are required to submit to a background and reference check. If you haven’t worked with us before, please fill out this form to get started.

  • A love and interest in children is required, and an ability to follow directions and always be kind.

  • Part time shifts are not hard, but it are incredibly meaningful work.

Is food provided?

  • Part-time Teachers are always invited to join us for breakfast (7:30am), lunch (12pm) and dinner (6pm) - just please RSVP ahead of time if the meal is outside your scheduled hours.
