Afternoon Teacher

Summary

 Founded in 1969, the Winston Prouty Center provides inclusive education and support to promote the success of children and families. Our 5-STAR Early Learning Center (ELC) is licensed to serve 58 children ages 6 weeks – 5 years.  

The ELC is an inclusive program influenced by the work of Reggio Emilia, Magda Gerber/Emmi Pickler/RIE, Early MTSS, CSEFEL Pyramid Model, Brazelton Touchpoints, and other leading models in the field. In all that we do, we aspire to offer joyful, reflective, respectful, responsive, relationship-based early care and education.  

We are expanding our early learning program this year! The center will be adding an Older Toddler/Young Preschool classroom which will serve children 2.5-3.5 years old. Every classroom in the ELC is made up of a three-person teaching team comprised of:
