āāāā About the Role
Part-time · In person in Ocala, FL
We're looking for a teacher who brings warm, positive energy to lead our Toddler Music classes: 45-minute weekly classes where toddlers ages 1–4 and their caregivers sing, move, play instruments and make music together. You'll lead the room, keep the pace lively and help parents feel confident joining in.
Schedule: classes are usually weekday mornings, between about 9am and 12pm, with some flexibility for afternoon or evening classes. Tell us when you're available, and we'll build your schedule from there. Saturday availability is a big plus as we launch Saturday toddler classes.
You'll be a great fit if you have:āāā
-
A background in both music and early childhood, such as early childhood music education, music therapy or child development
-
An understanding of how music supports young children's development, and the ability to plan activities with that purpose
-
Confidence singing and playing an instrument such as guitar, ukulele or piano while leading a class
-
Experience leading young children and their caregivers in a group, with warm, positive energy
-
Reliability and punctuality, and the ability to pass a background checkāā
