Sweet Clover Nursery at The Child's Garden

Sweet Clover Nursery provides infants and toddlers 3 months to 3.5yrs with warm, nurturing care from a staff led by a Waldorf-trained, Early Childhood professional. Children spend their days in a small, family-like group with children of different ages. Loving caregivers encourage children to develop their sense of self in a caring and rhythmic environment designed to nurture and support their continued unfolding. Children are actively engaged in all aspects of their daily routine and care by respectful caregivers. A great deal of time is spent outdoors, serving to strengthen children's growing bodies. Days include creative free play inside and out, wholesome organic morning snack, storytelling, nursery rhymes, and singing!

We are seeking candidates who are warm, nurturing, kind, and patient. Must be willing to sit on the ground, sing with children, and play outside in all weather.
