We’re Hiring: Part-Time Homeschool Teacher 🌿
REConnections DIR Center is growing, and we are looking for a creative, relationship-focused teacher to help us launch our new Specialized Homeschool Program beginning January 2027.
This is not a traditional classroom position. We are building a small, individualized homeschool experience for children who benefit from a different approach to learning—one that supports academics while also recognizing regulation, communication, movement, relationships, independence, and each child’s individual learning profile.
Our first session will run January–May 2027, with the goal of this becoming an ongoing position. We are beginning with one homeschool group, with the goal of expanding to two groups on separate program days as enrollment grows.
What will the program look like?
The teacher will lead a small group of approximately 4–6 students, ages 8–10, through engaging, hands-on learning experiences that include:
• Core academics
• STEAM-based learning
• Project-based and experiential activities
• Dynamic movement incorporated throughout the day
• Social-emotional learning and problem solving
• Executive functioning and independence
• Communication, collaboration, and relationship building
• DIR/Floortime® principles woven throughout the learning environment
One of the things that makes this program especially unique is that students will also participate in Occupational Therapy and Music Therapy group sessions during the program day. The teacher will work alongside our therapy team while maintaining the educational portion of the program.
We would love to find someone who:
✨ Loves teaching creatively and thinking outside of the traditional classroom model
✨ Understands that connection and regulation are foundational to learning
✨ Enjoys working with small groups and adapting instruction to individual learners
✨ Is comfortable collaborating with therapists and other professionals
✨ Brings energy, flexibility, creativity, and strong communication skills
✨ Wants the opportunity to help build something from the beginning
Position Details
Initial Program: January–May 2027
Pay: $24/hour
Paid Planning: An additional 45 minutes of paid planning time for each program day
There may also be opportunities for additional hours through private tutoring clients at the DIR Center, depending on interest, availability, and family needs.
Our goal is to find someone who is excited about helping us build an ongoing homeschool program with room to grow.
If you are an educator who has ever thought, “There has to be another way to do school,” we would love to meet you. 💛
