Waldorf Inspired, Outdoor Early Childhood Education

Substitute Teacher Collective

Join our Substitute Collective with like-minded schools and educators!

The premise: Multiple schools create a Substitute Collective where individual schools hire on Substitute Teachers and then invite them to join the collective. Each teacher can pick and choose what schools they would like to interview for and each school would go through their own hiring process for each teacher, ensuring the best fits.

We are looking for schools to join!

Outdoor | Nature | Forest | Farm
Waldorf | Reggio | Nature Based Montessori | Play Based

We are looking for Teachers to join who are:

Already on staff at a school, but would like more hours and experience.
Looking to start substitute teaching.
Already a Substitute Teacher, looking for more opportunities.
Hoping to gain a wide variety of experience to boost your resume and abilities.
Looking to complete practicum hours for our ECE degree or certificate.

Benefits:

Substitutes work for additional schools to gain more, consistent hours.
Substitutes get a wider range of training between schools, pedagogies, and age groups.
Schools will have a larger pool of teachers, much like public schools, to contact when Substitutes are needed.

By sharing our resources with each other, hopefully we can make substitute teaching more economically viable for those in early childhood education, while also supporting schools with the constant need of qualified, available substitute teachers.

Please reach out to desirae.thetreehouse@gmail.com if you are a school administrator and interested in joining our collective!

Teachers can go to: Employment | TheTreehouse (thetreehousenurseryandpreschool.org) to apply for a substitute teaching position through The Treehouse and then will be invited to the collective if hired on as a Substitute.

About The Treehouse: A Forest Garden School:

The Treehouse: a Forest Garden School is a non profit Waldorf inspired program for children 6 weeks - 6 years, established in 2010. After a recent move and expansion from an in-home school we are now stewarding a 1/4 acre just outside of Portland, Oregon where we are developing a food forest, permaculture learning garden and offer a holistic education for children to truly thrive! We offer a unique opportunity for families as a state certified center providing an indoor classroom dedicated to beauty and a fully equipped outdoor classroom in our forest garden where children will be outside in all weather up to 6 ½ hours a day. Offering high quality outdoor education definitely has us pushing the envelope on what state licensed schools typically offer. Treehouse’s program follows the local school year calendar for children 6 weeks - 6 year olds and offers a Forest School Summer Program for children through the age of 12. We are eternally grateful for the resources that we have the opportunity to steward and have us striving to give back from our abundance.
