*A fun and rewarding part-time job for a passionate teacher who speaks fluent spanish.
*
We are a small, family-owned business located in San Antonio, Texas.
We may be biased, but we are pretty sure we have the best Early Childhood Centers around.
They are Spanish Immersion schools, which means that, from the moment the children enter the building, they are immersed in the Spanish language and culture of Latin America.
We really believe that we are making a BIG impact on the future citizens of San Antonio.
We are looking for candidates who truly enjoy and appreciate young children and have good verbal and written communication skills in Spanish.
There are great opportunities for growth within the school for professional candidates who are looking for a life-time career in teaching.
*A few perks:*
* We offer a *401K* with company matching.
An opportunity to start saving for your future? Yes, please!
* The work is *fun and fast-paced*.

All employees are welcome to eat lunch on the house.
Our kitchen staff prepares a delicious, home-cooked meal every day for the children and staff.
Most of the meals are “Latino”, like picadillo, caldo de pollo, and albondigas.
Our Enchiladas are the crowd favorite!
* You don’t need to be skilled at dancing, karaoke, or Pictionary, but you will likely be doing all of those things.
*Every month, we do something fun as a team*.
We’re a family and we’ll celebrate just about anything, from _Día de los Reyes_ to International Friendship Day to National Sandwich Day!
We love to celebrate with the children, too! Picture colorful and lively Latino-inspired events to celebrate Rodeo, Fiesta San Antonio, _Día de los Muertos_, and more!
