Sibling Group Leader (2) – Temporary Summer Positions
A t Child Development Resources (CDR), we believe every child deserves a strong start. We are a mission-driven nonprofit dedicated to providing high-quality, inclusive early childhood education that nurtures the whole child—socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually. CDR empowers children, families, and early childhood professionals to reach their full potential, regardless of the challenges they may face.
We are pleased to announce two temporary Sibling Group Leader positions within our Children’s Services programs. These summer roles work as a team under the guidance of CDR’s Developmental Playgroup Coordinator. The sibling group is offered to children aged 3-8 years old who have younger siblings enrolled in CDR’s Developmental Playgroup. This group is offered for 8-10 weeks during the summer to allow families to continue participation in the Developmental Playgroup for infants and toddlers, while older siblings are out of school for the summer. This summer an Art Therapy Intern will work side-by side with the Sibling Group Leaders so it will be a great learning opportunity. Child Development Resources (CDR), a private, non-profit agency, strives to inspire and empower children, families, and early childhood professionals to reach their full potential, whatever their challenges.
