Job description

About us

We are a learning company started by two Stanford University graduates with a mission of building modern, high quality, learning hubs across India. We started in Kolkata in 2018 and came to Bangalore in 2022. Today we have 6 learning hubs in Bangalore where we focus on afterschool co-curricular activities at a world class level. Next, we are bringing the Openhouse approach to the world of Early Years or Preschools.

Today, modern parents align more with teaching philosophies that are in line with the IB PYP: enquiry, play, holistic; however they are not able to either afford a K-12 IB school or settle for a preschool near their home. At Openhouse, we want to make high quality early years preschools with International standards of curriculum and delivery more accessible to young modern parents in every major neighbourhood in Bangalore.

Our Preschools

We are going to launch 6 premium early years schools in Bangalore: in Indiranagar, Sarjapur, Whitefield, Sadashivnagar, Jayanagar and JP Nagar. These preschools will have full day and half day programs designed for new age working professional families.

Our USP will be:

• Our vibrant modern learning spaces. At the Openhouse Early Years, children will have a range of learning environments in their school from a markerspace, atelier, story telling den, movement studio, play area to a library.
• Second, we will also be supporting parents beyond the school hours as a parenting partner, helping them in various facets of life to develop their little ones.
• Third and most importantly, a very high quality or benchmark for educators. Either we will have educators who have already been trained in IB PYP in their past or will go through a lot of workshops and professional development courses in order to be enquiry led.

In terms of pedagogy, we are building our own approach but are taking inspiraton from some of the best philosophies globally: Reggio Emilia, Montessori, Waldorf and IB PYP. We want our learning experience to be very hands-on, play based where children can build curiosity for learning itself. Through a blend of engaging activities, creative exploration, and personalised guidance, we aim to lay the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.

Who we are looking for

• You have been either taught in an IB PYP school for 2-4 years minimum or a similar school that has a modern approach to Early Years.
• You like the early years and the impact we can create by helping nurture children in their most impactful years of development
• You are curious and keep trying innovative things in your school.
• Location: Indiranagar, JP Nagar, Jayanagar, Sarjapura, Whitefield, and Sadashivnagar.

Your role & responsibility

In case you have a lot of experience under your best, we may consider you for a lead teacher. Having said that all educators have similar responsibilities at Openhouse:

• Deliver enquiry based learning experiences to your children
• Demonstrate care and commitment to your children building a safe and warm environment
• Document child progress and maintain an open and effective communication with parents, sharing insights into their child's progress and milestones.
• Plan themes, curriculum & events with your head of school and co-teachers to build an engaging community in your neighbourhood

Above all, you must be a passionate, curious and well spoken person from whom we can learn and enjoy spending time with as we take on the mission of building an exceptional school!
