Toddler Teaching Assistant

Summary

Toddler’s Morning Out (TMO) has been a long-standing early childhood program in the Upper Valley for over thirty-five years. TMO provides play-based learning for toddlers between 18 months and 3 years of age. We play, sing, dance, paint, dig, read, share (and more!) while building creative, confident early learners and wonderful first friendships. At TMO, we also support and educate parents and enjoy enduring relationships with our families. We have an excellent teaching community with staff who have been with our program for many years.

We are seeking just the right person to join our great group of teachers! If you enjoy working with very young children we would be happy to talk with you about the details of the position. We anticipate between 5 mornings per week (approximately 4 hours/morning) and generally operate in alignment with the Hanover NH/Norwich VT school calendar.

Come play and learn with us at TMO!
