The Treehouse: a Forest Garden School

About Us

The Treehouse is a nonprofit, Waldorf-inspired program for children 6 weeks to 6 years, serving families since 2010. We steward a 1/3 acre forest garden where children learn outside in all weather for up to 6½ hours a day. Our focus is curiosity, security, beauty, and wonder, engaging the head, heart, and hands of every child.

The Role

Depending on your education and experience, you will sub in one, two, or all three of our classrooms. Shifts are on call or pre-scheduled. We need infant lead subs most, and we would love for you to join our Substitute Collective.

Pay: $21 to $24/hr, based on experience and education.

Certifications (can be completed after hire)

Pediatric CPR and First Aid
Oregon Food Handlers Card
Enrollment in the Background Registry
Intro to Child Care Health and Safety (ICCHS)
Safe Sleep Training
Foundations for Learning
Recognizing Child Abuse and Neglect
RIE infant training (infant classroom only, can be completed after hire)

Infant lead subs must be “Teacher Qualified” through the Early Learning Division.

Physical Requirements

Lift and carry children and equipment (up to 40 lbs)
Move safely over uneven terrain
Respond quickly to sounds and spot dangerous situations
Work outside in all weather for up to 8 hours, including 90+ degree days. We close for snow days.
Exposure to common childhood illnesses is part of the job. Please consider whether this is the right fit if you are sensitive to heat or cold, or have a compromised immune system.

Bonus Points

Waldorf early childhood and Forest School experience are highly sought after.
