The Forest Ridge School is in search of a teacher substitute. We are located just outside of Wellsboro, The Forest Ridge School is a home and nature-based early childhood program serving children ages 6 weeks to 12 years of age. We operate Monday through Friday, 7 am to 5 pm. We are currently in need of a teacher substitute to work full-time during a 12 to 13-week period next fall, September through December, while the owner/teacher completes a required field experience for her MS program. Some flexibility may be possible with days and times. In addition, the substitute teacher would be asked to work on an “as needed” basis before and after this time period. Due to state ratio requirements of 6 children, potential hires cannot bring their own children to work.

All applicants should enjoy being outdoors as we spend many hours outside when weather permits. Reliability and love for children are a must. Experience preferred in early education and/or PreK-4 teaching. Education in the field is not necessary but would be preferred. We are willing to provide additional training and educational opportunities. The following will be required: clearances, a staff health assessment including TB test, Pediatric First Aid and CPR, and references.

All interested individuals please apply online by completing the form below.  You can also call (828) 243-1521 with additional questions. Applicants will be interviewed by both the owner and current families of the program. Pay is approximately $10 per hour and will be based on experience and education. Assistance may be provided for required clearances and coursework. Please share with anyone who may be interested. Thank you!
