"WHY I WORK HERE"

Being at Verner has given me the creative freedom to be myself, and to let the kids explore with our curriculum built around what they love to learn about. I am a firm believer in positive reinforcement and that humor cures, and my time here so far has been filled with Verner growing as a whole. Teaching is a gift that I have been given, and it keeps on giving to me and those in my community.

I work here because I want to center relationships in my life, and relationships with children are second to none. I work here because Verner supports me as an educator through genuine curiosity for me and my goals. I work here because Verner supports the structures that support the child, building healthy families and communities!

"We provide a space where they can see themselves as thinkers, active agents in the learning process, where their ideas and feelings are validated.”

Who We Are

Verner teachers are all expected to foster the inclusive, play-based, interactive, and reflective learning atmosphere that families have come to expect of us. We are firm believers in the “teacher-as-researcher” model, in which teachers encourage play and discovery as a means to learning.

Our teachers are open-minded, and are similarly encouraged to pursue their own personal and career development. At Verner, we embrace innovative child development and family engagement best practices, and endeavor to share them with our peers in the early education community. Our teachers are an integral part of the high-quality learning environments we offer.

Build A Career Here

Not only will you gain valuable, hands-on experience using the latest best practices in the classroom, but you’ll also be supported through one-on-one mentorship from industry-leading professionals. We encourage growth and development for everyone at Verner, which means our teachers are encouraged to continue their education, as well, through benefits such as tuition assistance, paid training, and paid continuing education opportunities.

Start or continue your career in an inclusive environment full of lifelong learners, all seeking to bring out the best in one another.

DEIB

We embrace Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) in everything we do. We fight for childrens’ humanity, and our efforts to increase access to high quality early learning stem from our core belief that all families – regardless of race or socioeconomic status – deserve care and support.

We strive to build meaningful connections with families and caregivers, to best serve the needs of children and the parallel needs of their grown-ups. Magic happens when our teachers work in collaboration with kids and families.

We consider ourselves advocates for children, and for increased access to high quality early learning. Our role as educators calls us to educate the broader community about the importance of well-funded and robust early childhood development programs. These are spaces that can model dynamic self-representation and equity for all.
