Imagine Nation, A Museum Early Learning Center located in Bristol CT is looking for a full-time Museum Educator to join our team. Imagine Nation, A Museum Early Learning Center is an innovative integration of a preschool program and children’s museum. This unique learning experience extends the classroom curriculum into the museum and provides intentional teaching opportunities related to eleven museum studios. Imagine Nation has drawn inspiration from the renowned schools of Reggio Emilia, Italy. This approach is in continuous development and reflection as it is applied to our environment, practices and relationship with the community. Through a partnership between staff and families we are able to support children’s intellectual, social, emotional and physical development in a positive, joyful environment that fosters children to have a love for learning. Responsibilities include collaboration between classroom teachers, and well-executed lessons and workshops. The museum serves as a grand “atelier” (studio – a critical component to the Reggio Emilia approach) and the learning experience that takes place here is a distinguishing characteristic of the curriculum. Utilization of the museum requires thoughtful planning and preparation. Responsibilities include collaboration between classroom teachers, and well-executed lessons and workshops.
