WHY WORK AT ACORN?
Our unique program was designed by a teacher to support teachers in reaching their highest potential for the benefit of children. We have high standards and practices for our teachers and administrators. A strong ethic of continual evaluation and professional growth for all staff members makes our working environment challenging and dynamic.
Teacher Support: A Supportive Teaching Environment is a Priority The staff of The Acorn School is composed of excellent educators who are committed to teaching on a long-term basis and supporting each other in our shared vision for the school. The teachers are continually progressing in their field and learning from each other. Our administrative team is consistently available for support and guidance. Our Program Director conducts evaluations and supportive feedback sessions regularly. Teachers and administrators work together to identify areas for growth.
Staff Development: Ongoing Growth Benefits Everyone Staff development is a priority. Teachers are encouraged to continue learning and growing as educators and as human beings. Our goal is to help our staff members become Master Teachers and identify areas for future leadership advancement. Our administrative team provides individual professional development support for teachers.
Low Ratios: A Quality Environment Class sizes are small, the ratios are well below the requirements set by the State of Colorado and are even lower than the guidelines recommended by NAEYC for a quality program. Our teachers work with a budget for classroom supplies and materials. We believe that teachers should have what they need in their classrooms. As a non-profit organization, all of our financial resources go directly back into our program. The Acorn School for Early Childhood Development is known by all involved and by the larger community as a model and an advocate for the highest quality childcare.
The Acorn School is committed to the principles of equal employment. We are committed to complying with all federal, state, and local laws providing Equal Employment Opportunities (EEO), and all other employment laws and regulations. It is our intent to maintain a work environment which is free of harassment or discrimination because of sex, race, religion, color, national origin, physical or mental disability, genetic information, marital status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, military service, veteran status, or any other status protected by federal, state or local laws.
