La Jolla Country Day School’s Lower School is a place where parents are often reminded of the best aspects of their childhood. Lower School is where we lay the foundation for the joy of learning, and our educators play a critical role in that process. The sense of exhilaration present in this age group is something that’s special. Here, children’s natural curiosity and questioning are nurtured alongside a well-balanced educational experience. LJCDS is where the best of classical and progressive education blends.

We are seeking a creative, nurturing assistant educator to join our Lower School team, working with our youngest learners in our Early Childhood Center.

The Early Childhood Center serves children ages 3 to 5 and offers an education that supports the development of the whole child. Children explore and investigate in well-equipped, thoughtfully designed, indoor and outdoor classrooms. The ECC follows a traditional school year calendar (mid August – early June) with closures for holidays, and winter and spring breaks.
