Job Description

SUMMER EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATORS & COUNSELORS (Ages 16+)
Temple Shalom Nursery School (TSNS)

ABOUT US

Temple Shalom Nursery School (TSNS) is a play-based, nature-rich early childhood program serving children ages 18 months to 5 years. Rooted in Jewish values—community, kindness, respect, curiosity, and justice —we create a warm, inclusive environment where children, families, and educators thrive.

Our summer program brings all of this to life in a joyful, outdoor-centered camp experience.

OUR PROGRAM EMPHASIZES
  • Outdoor learning and play every day
  • Nature-based exploration (gardening, water play, animals)
  • Child-led, play-based experiences
  • Creativity, connection, and summer joy
  • Strong, supportive team culture
POSITION OVERVIEW

We are seeking enthusiastic Summer Educators and Counselors (ages 16+) to join our team for an 8-week program (June 22–August 14) , with full-time and part-time positions available .

This role is ideal for:

  • Experienced educators looking for meaningful summer work (with the potential to continue into the school year)
  • High school and college students (16+) who love working with young children
  • Anyone energized by play, creativity, and being outside
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Support a nurturing, engaging classroom or camp group environment
  • Build relationships with children through play, curiosity, and care
  • Participate in outdoor activities, water play, and nature exploration
  • Collaborate with co-teachers, counselors, and leadership
  • Help maintain a safe, organized, and joyful environment
QUALIFICATIONS
  • Age 16+ (counselor roles)
  • Experience with young children preferred (for educator roles)
  • Enthusiasm, responsibility, and a willingness to learn
  • Comfort being outdoors for much of the day
  • Strong teamwork and communication skills
  • Jewish knowledge/experience is a plus, but not required
COMPENSATION
  • $18–$29/hour , based on experience and role
WHY TSNS FOR THE SUMMER?
  • Spend your days outside, playing and connecting
  • Be part of a warm, supportive, and collaborative team
  • Gain meaningful experience in early childhood education
  • Opportunity to continue into the school year for interested candidates

Join us for a summer that is playful, purposeful, and deeply connected —for children and educators alike.
