The Forest School at the Burrow Nature Center nurtures children's connection with nature through hands-on exploration, play-based learning, and outdoor skill development. Our program empowers children to become curious learners, problem-solvers, and stewards of the natural world.
We are looking for enthusiastic Forest School Assistants to support our outdoor classrooms. We currently serve ages 1–3 (caregiver-child classes) and ages 4–7, with plans to expand to ages 8–12 as our community grows.
What you will do:
- Assist lead teachers in maintaining a safe, engaging outdoor environment.
- Help children explore nature trails, participate in play-based learning, and develop outdoor skills.
- Provide an extra set of eyes and hands during activities.
Requirements: No advanced experience is required for assistant roles—we provide basic training! You just need a love for the outdoors, patience, and a passion for working with children.
(Note: Leadership/Lead Teacher positions require prior experience and may transition into paid roles).
