Responsibilities include:

- Build warm, trusting and appropriately boundaried relationships with children
- Teach through play, games, conversation, movement, creativity and experiential activities

- Professional liability insurance appropriate to their work

Educators typically begin with 1–2 children and can accept additional families as opportunities become available. You choose clients based on your availability and preferred service area.

Meaningful Work That Matters

Some of the most important things children learn aren't only academic—how to understand themselves, build healthy relationships, stay safe, navigate challenges and believe in themselves.

At Calm School™, you'll help children build these foundations early through warm, creative and engaging experiences.

If you're looking for adaptable work that combines your professional experience with meaningful impact, we'd love to hear from you.
