Summary :

At Growing Up New Mexico, we recognize that our educators here at the Early Learning Center at Kaune are essential to the success of our school. The Kaune leadership team works hard to support them through on-site professional development, training, and personal wellbeing. We believe it is very important to create a warm and welcome place to work, where team members can feel supported and appreciated for all they do.

Growing Up New Mexico is growing and hiring Educational Assistants for our Infant, Toddler, and 2-, 3-, and 4-year-old classrooms.

The Growing Up New Mexico Early Learning Center at Kaune is a state funded PreK Program that seeks to strengthen families and the community through an interconnected network of early intervention, education, economic development, and family support programs. Growing Up New Mexico is comprised of programs and services including Home Visiting; Great Start Family Support; Early Learning Programs; Bridges to Opportunity; Family, Friends, and Neighbors; and Dolly Partons Imagination Library programs.

The Educational Assistant, alongside the Lead Teacher and other teaching staff, is responsible for creating a joyous environment that gives children a respected space to develop their own inquiries and negotiate the social emotional terrain. The Educational Assistant is also expected to participate in a reflective and analytical process with colleagues to support and develop the understanding of, and work with, children and their families. The PreK Program at the Early Learning Center follows the standards set forth by ECECD regulations, New Mexico PreK standards, and NAEYC standards. The Early Learning Center at Kaune is a Reggio Emilia-inspired program and draws much of its philosophical roots from that approach.
