Our that our year-round academic program is growing!   We currently have full time openings for Paraeducators.  Pay rates start at $20.00 and our schedule is a Monday through Friday, 7am to 3pm (with no weekends!).

Our Paraeducators are a vital part of the professional academic team, contributing daily to the successful outcomes of our students.   Collaborating with our Special Education Teachers and the Therapy team, you will assist in providing a well-organized, smooth functioning environment in the classrooms.  Our staff participates in an active and mobile day in our busy and very gratifying setting.

• Must be 21 years of age (This is based on State regulatory requirements)

• A NH Paraeducator Certification is preferred, or we will assist you in achieving the certification within 3 months of employment
