Preschool Teacher – Honey Tree Preschool – Wilton, CT

Respect, Caring, Support, Enthusiasm, and Growth are our Core Values At Honey Tree. Our professional staff is close-knit. We work together as a team, and also treat each other like family!

Each family that walks through our doors holds a special place in our hearts. We come to work every day excited to inspire our children to create, learn, grow and explore in a safe, nurturing environment where both the children and the parents feel at home.

Our teachers cultivate a working schedule for the children/classroom, encourage self-direction and also teacher-directed experiences. Balance is the key to success here!

Our focus is on gentle direction and structure. Children should have choices and understand what is expected of them and what to expect throughout the day/week. We feel organization is important so that everyone in the room, children included, can find what they desire, and where to place things when they are done. An organized classroom saves time and makes “play” with the children more enjoyable.

  • You must be able to read a book to a bunch of busy bodies

This is by far one of the most joyous places to work, but you must be prepared to accept the challenges and benefits this job has to offer. Yes, you will have many days where you go home tired and exhausted….but you won’t be able to wait to go back the next day to see children that you think of as your own and help them sing the A,B,C’s for the first time or teach them how to snap.
