You will be joining an education startup that is revolutionizing early years and after-school programs for the new generation of parents in India. The company was founded in Kolkata in 2018 and expanded to Bangalore in 2022, where it currently operates 6 learning hubs focusing on after-school co-curricular activities at a world-class level. The next step for the company is to introduce the Openhouse approach to the world of Early Years by establishing preschools and childcare programs. Modern parents today seek a holistic environment for their children that fosters inquiry, play, friendships, and foundational learning in preschool programs. Openhouse aims to bridge the gap by providing high-quality early years preschools with international standards of curriculum and delivery that are accessible to young modern parents in every major neighborhood in Bangalore. As part of the team, you will be involved in launching 6 progressive early years schools in various locations in Bangalore, offering full-day and half-day programs tailored for new-age working professional families. The unique selling points of these schools include vibrant modern learning spaces, support for parents beyond school hours, and a high standard for educators who undergo workshops and professional development courses to ensure a child-centric approach. The educational approach at Openhouse draws inspiration from renowned philosophies such as Reggio Emilia, Montessori, Waldorf, and IB PYP, focusing on hands-on, play-based learning experiences that spark curiosity and lay the foundation for a lifelong love of learning through engaging activities, creative exploration, and personalized guidance. As a potential candidate, you are expected to have experience in building programs or curriculum in the Early Years at an IB school or high-quality organization, exposure to multiple pedagogies, leadership in teacher professional development workshops, a passion for the early years, and a curiosity for innovation in education. The position may require visits to various schools across Bangalore, although the main office is located in central Bangalore (MG Road). Your role and responsibilities will involve leading the preschool initiative at Openhouse if you have substantial experience and leadership skills. Alternatively, if you are seeking mentorship, the current team of pedagogy experts and curriculum designers can provide guidance. Key responsibilities include building and refining the curriculum framework, planning themes and lesson plans aligned with the company's philosophy and children's developmental milestones, and developing a professional development playbook to support preschool directors and teachers in creating independent lessons and activity plans. Above all, you are expected to be a passionate, curious, and articulate individual who can contribute to the mission of building an exceptional school while fostering a positive learning environment for children during their most impactful developmental years.,
