Currently Hiring Support Professionals & Aftercare Providers

We’ve got a good thing going, and we’re looking to grow. Currently hiring Support Professionals and Aftercare Providers. What’s that? Glad you asked. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds, prior experience with children or not — curiosity & communication are the two strongest job requirements.

Support Professionals work with a classroom team — a Montessori-trained lead teacher and an assistant teacher — in a support role. In one day, you might rub a back or hold a hand, or you might provide encouragement to someone trying something they’ve not yet mastered, or you might cut and laminate vocabulary cards, whatever the day brings! Hours for this role are 9-2 or 3. Support Professionals are typically working in one classroom, but on occasion might be asked to provide float or admin support. This role has availability late summer 2024/school year 2024-2025.

Aftercare Providers work with students from all the classrooms, ages 1-6. Not all families are on a 8:30-3:30 schedule, and aftercare providers help with after school hours. We play inside or outside, children have a snack, and we enjoy hanging out together until children are picked up. Hours for this role are 3 (can be 4) until 6. This role could be ideal for a student (high school or college), and has options for under-18 staff. This role has immediate availability.

Baan Dek follows the Sioux Falls School District calendar, and we offer camp during the summer. Both these roles offer opportunity for growth, free enrollment for staff children (contingent on availability), and $15/hour. It can’t be over-emphasized, our diversity is our strength, and we welcome all applicants, not just those with prior education or childcare experience.

Baan Dek is an accredited Montessori school (the first and only in the state!), which requires specialized training for our classroom lead teachers. These two part-time roles are a great introduction to Montessori, and to Baan Dek. We’ve had support professionals become assistant teachers, and assistant teachers become lead teachers. Regardless of your title, a firmly held belief here is that we’re all learning, every day. If you like to be coached and mentored, if you like clear, direct, timely communication, if you have a positive attitude & a willingness to learn, email us at join@baandek.org, and let’s start a conversation.
