• Track progress and prepare materials
• Provide regular, clear communication and feedback to parents

** Qualifications**

• 5–10 years of experience teaching elementary students
• Background in early childhood or elementary education
• Experience with phonics-based reading instruction
• Strong foundation in hands-on, conceptual math instruction
• Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate closely with parents

** Qualities We Value**

• Patient & Encouraging – Builds confidence and independence
• Active & Curious – Incorporates movement and outdoor learning
