PRT- Learning Studio Educator (Nursery To Grade 2)

Position Summary:

We are seeking a passionate and forward-thinking educator to lead a dynamic, Reggio Emilia-inspired learning environment for children from Nursery to Grade 2. The role involves nurturing curiosity, scientific thinking, creativity, and collaborative exploration through hands-on experiences and a STEM-based learning framework.

The ideal candidate is someone who values children's voices, encourages self-directed learning, and creates a safe space where children can think, create, unlearn, and innovate. The environment is richly resourced with materials that promote inquiry, making, and experimentation and the teacher will act as a facilitator and co-learner rather than a traditional instructor.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and facilitate learning experiences aligned with Reggio Emilia, Montessori, and STEM principles.
• Create an emotionally safe and intellectually stimulating environment for exploration, experimentation, and innovation.
• Guide children in project-based and inquiry-led learning experiences that integrate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics with early literacy and creative arts.
• Observe, document, and assess childrens learning journeys using anecdotal records, photographs, and portfolios.
• Encourage reflective thinking, questioning, and unstructured play to support the development of problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
• Organize and maintain the learning studio space with rotating provocations and materials that inspire creativity and innovation.
• Collaborate with homeroom teachers and subject experts to integrate studio learning with the broader curriculum.
• Engage in continuous professional development and stay updated with best practices in early childhood pedagogy, STEM education, and maker-centered learning.
• Involve parents and the larger school community in childrens learning processes through exhibitions, documentation panels, and open studio events.
