Opening

If you believe music is not a performance—but a language children use to think, express, and connect—we invite you to apply.
This is not a performance-based music role—it is relational, reflective, and rooted in children’s thinking.

We are seeking a full-time Music Teacher & Assistant Teacher to weave music into the daily life of the classroom while supporting children and teachers across the school.

This is a fully integrated role —both offering music experiences and supporting classroom life with children infants through 5 years of age .

Role Overview

• Facilitate open-ended music experiences (voice, rhythm, movement, instruments)
• Support classroom routines, caregiving, and transitions
• Collaborate with teachers and contribute to the pedagogy team
• Observe and respond to children’s interests

• Background in early childhood, music, or related field
• Experience with young children (infants/toddlers preferred)
• Open to or experienced in Reggio Emilia
• Must meet Washington State Department of Children, Youth, and Families requirements (background check, MERIT, STARS)
• Able to work respectfully in both non-sectarian and Christian school environments

• Full-time, 35 hours - 40 hours/week (Mon–Fri, between 7:30am–5:45pm)
• Active role: must be able to work with young children (infants–5 years), including kneeling, squatting, lifting, and floor-based engagement

Please submit your resume and a short reflection:
How do children experience music as a language?
