Aide, Part Time – Littlest Learners Child Development Center

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Directions to Apply" etc. Also remove "Category Part Time Application Deadline" etc. Keep substantive info: description, essential job functions, job requirements (minimum, additional), physical demands, work environment, pay (starting hourly rate $15.00), maybe schedule? Not given. Benefits? Not given. So we can include sections: About the role (maybe from Job Summary), Responsibilities (Essential Job Functions), Requirements (Job Requirements), Qualifications (maybe same as Requirements? but we can combine). Skills maybe from Additional Requirements? Could include Skills section. Pay section: we have salary info. Schedule: not given, so omit. Benefits: not given, omit. We must preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit any substantive info. So we need to include all details: Job Summary, Essential Job Functions list, Job Requirements (Minimum Requirements, Additional Requirements), Physical Demands, Work Environment, Pay (starting hourly rate $15.00). Also maybe mention FLSA Status: Non-Exempt? That's substantive; could be included in About the role or a separate section? Could be part of About the role. Also mention Department: Child Development Center, Littlest Learners. Contact Amanda Beacham - email? That's contact info; maybe include in About the role? But contact is application instruction; we should remove application instructions. The instruction says remove application instructions. Contact email is part of application instructions; we should drop it. Also "This position is open until filled." is application instruction; drop. Also "Category Part Time Application Deadline" drop. Also "Department Child Development Center, Littlest Learners" maybe we keep as part of About the role? It's substantive about department. Keep. We need to avoid duplication. Let's extract substantive content: - Department: Child Development Center, Littlest Learners - Pay Grade: 1 – Auxiliary/Child Dev. Ctr, Littlest Learners pay scale – starting hourly rate $15.00 - FLSA Status: Non-Exempt - Job Summary: Responsible for assisting in implementing curriculum for preschool age children in a team environment. This position reports to the Director/Teacher, Littlest Learners Child Dev Ctr. - Essential Job Functions (list): - Promote philosophy of Littlest Learners Child Development Center - Facilitate play and oversee small group learning - Adhere to all safety procedures outlined by Maryland State Department of Education Office of Child Care (MSDE OCC) Licensing - Work collaboratively with college education faculty in promoting Lab School model in ECE classes - Attend and participate in staff meetings when possible - Maintain daily written plans and organized paperwork - Learn to observe children and document growth and areas of need - Perform other duties as assigned (including, but not limited to housekeeping, food preparation, cleanup, nap assistance and help with teacher preparation) - Job Requirements Minimum Requirements: - Completion of either high school or college level Child Development Class or Introduction to Early Childhood Education - Good academic standing - Must meet MSDE OCC requirements for Aide in a Preschool Child Care Center - Must be positive, cooperative, and supportive - Additional Requirements: - Must be goal oriented, responsible, and consistent - Currently holds Maryland Child Care Credential Certificate or is willing to apply for the Maryland Child Care Credential Program - Familiar with MSDE Office of Child Care Licensing Procedures - Possess willingness to learn and promote the Center philosophy of Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP) by including nature-based activities, arts-based learning and play experiences - Works as a collaborative team member with Center staff, college faculty and parents - Excellent interpersonal skills and rapport with children, families, students; including skills in conflict resolution and redirection - Excellent written and spoken communication skills - Ability to take initiative and assist when needed for the benefit of the Center - Flexibility and willingness to grow and learn as a teacher - Successfully complete a criminal background check - Physical Demands: - The work includes sedentary, light, and medium physical work which may require exerting up to 40 pounds of force occasionally and/or negligible amount of force frequently or constantly to lift, carry, push, pull or otherwise move objects. - Additionally, the following physical abilities are required: - Able to lift up to 40 lbs. on occasion - Balancing, crawling, kneeling, stooping - Hear/talk/communicate – must be able to exchange information and communicate - Visual acuity – ability to perceive or detect surroundings - Mental acuity – able to focus, concentrate, understand, and convey subject matter - Stand/sit/walk – able to move or traverse from one area to another - Work Environment: - Child development center; constant interaction with preschool age children; dynamic environment that requires sensitivity to change and responsiveness to needs. - Carroll Community College has the right to revise this position description at any time, and this position description does not represent in any way a contract of employment. That last sentence about right to revise is boilerplate? It's a disclaimer; maybe considered legal boilerplate. The instruction says remove legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This is a disclaimer about revision; might be considered legal. Safer to remove it. Also "Carroll Community College has the right to revise this position description at any time, and this position description does not represent in any way a contract of employment." is likely boilerplate; remove. Also "FLSA Status: Non-Exempt" is substantive; keep. Also "Pay Grade: 1 – Auxiliary/Child Dev. Ctr, Littlest Learners pay scale – starting hourly rate $15.00" is pay. We need to output HTML with sections: maybe About the role (includes department, FLSA status, job summary), Responsibilities (essential job functions), Requirements (minimum and additional), Qualifications (maybe we can combine with Requirements? But we need to follow instruction: use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should only include sections that have real specific content. We can have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Pay. Could split Requirements into Minimum and Additional? But we can put all under Requirements. Qualifications could be same as Requirements; maybe we can omit Qualifications if redundant. Skills we can pull from Additional Requirements that are skill-based. But we must not invent or summarize away detail; we need to preserve all substantive info. If we split into Requirements and Skills, we must ensure we don't lose any info. We could put Minimum Requirements under Requirements, and Additional Requirements under Skills. That would preserve all. Qualifications maybe we can omit if not needed. But we need to ensure we don't omit any substantive info. Let's map: - About the role: Department, FLSA Status, Job Summary. - Responsibilities: Essential Job Functions list. - Requirements: Minimum Requirements list. - Skills: Additional Requirements list (includes many skill/competency items). - Pay: Starting hourly rate $15.00, Pay Grade 1. - Possibly also include Physical Demands and Work Environment as separate sections? Not in the list of allowed headings; but we could incorporate them into About the role or Responsibilities? The instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies we should use those headings for those sections if present. It doesn't say we cannot add other headings, but better to stick to those. We could incorporate Physical Demands and Work Environment into About the role or Responsibilities? Might be odd. Perhaps we can add a section "Working Conditions" but not in list. Safer to include them under About the role as extra paragraphs. We must not invent or summarize away detail; we can add paragraphs under About the role that include Physical Demands and Work Environment. Thus About the role will contain: Department, FLSA Status, Job Summary, Physical Demands, Work Environment. Responsibilities: Essential Job Functions. Requirements: Minimum Requirements. Skills: Additional Requirements. Pay: Pay Grade and starting hourly rate. We must not include Schedule or Benefits. Now produce HTML fragment: use

for each section heading, then content:

for prose,

• for lists. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title. No job title given explicitly; we can ignore. Let's craft:
