From Thrive Education Partners's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
A family in Palm Springs is seeking an exceptional early childhood educator to design and lead a small, highly personalized learning pod for children connected through the equestrian community. The program will serve up to five children, approximately ages three to five, during the weeks their families are based in Palm Springs for horse-show season.
This is not a traditional preschool classroom or childcare position. It is an opportunity to build a thoughtful, engaging early learning program from the ground up—one that gives young children consistency, meaningful social interaction, and developmentally appropriate learning experiences within a lifestyle that does not align with a conventional school calendar.
The program will be based at a large equestrian facility, with a dedicated RV or camper being converted into a child-friendly learning space. The educator will help shape both the instructional program and the classroom environment, incorporating indoor and outdoor learning, play, movement, art, music, stories, exploration, and the unique opportunities available within the surrounding setting.
The ideal candidate understands that children learn best through relationships, play, curiosity, and purposeful experiences. Success in this role requires someone who can create structure without becoming rigid, differentiate for children at slightly different developmental stages, and provide a warm, joyful environment that still reflects professional educational planning and intentionality.
Student Profile
The pod is being created primarily for a young boy who will turn four at the end of November. He may be joined by children from approximately four other families within the horse-show community, creating a potential group of up to five children between the ages of three and five. Attendance may vary somewhat depending on each family’s travel schedule.
The families want their children to have more than supervision during the weeks they are in Palm Springs. They are seeking a professional early childhood educator who can provide consistency, routine, socialization, and rich learning experiences in a setting designed specifically for young children.
The program should introduce and strengthen early literacy and language, foundational math concepts, fine- and gross-motor skills, creativity, independence, emotional development, and positive peer relationships. Learning should feel active, playful, and engaging, with opportunities for stories, singing, instruments, art, sensory experiences, outdoor exploration, imaginative play, and hands-on projects.
Compensation
1099 Contract work initially at $75-$95/hour, commensurate with experience, credentials, finalized schedule, planning responsibilities, and placement scope. If the placement is successful, there is a possibility of this turning into a W-2 salaried position.
