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 with real content. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - About the role: description of Babilou Family US, mission, Sustainable Education, HONOR values, location schedule (year-round Monday-Friday 7:00AM-6:00PM). Also "What We Will Achieve Together" bullet list. - Responsibilities: "What you’ll do:" with subheadings: Classroom Support, Child Supervision and Development, Family Interaction, Professional Development. Those are responsibilities. - Required & Preferred Qualifications: list required and preferred. - Work Environment & Physical Requirements: maybe could be part of Requirements or separate section? Could be "Requirements" includes qualifications and physical requirements. But we have a separate "Work Environment & Physical Requirements". Could be a section "Requirements" or "Work Environment". The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Qualifications" (maybe combine required & preferred), "Benefits". Also maybe "Schedule" if schedule info present: location will operate year-round, Monday–Friday, 7:00AM-6:00PM. Also Academy Hours: Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM (training). So we have schedule info. Could create a Schedule section. Pay: Not mentioned explicitly except "Performance-based pay, including increases tied to certification and/or degree completion." That's a benefit but also pay info. It mentions performance-based pay but no specific numbers. The rule: do NOT create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state performance-based pay, so we can include Pay section with that detail. However we must avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Performance-based pay is specific enough? It says "Performance-based pay, including increases tied to certification and/or degree completion." That's substantive. So we can include Pay. Benefits: there is a list of benefits under "What we offer:" with many bullet points. So Benefits section. Schedule: we have location schedule and Academy hours. So we can include Schedule. Qualifications: we have Required & Preferred Qualifications. Could also include Work Environment & Physical Requirements as part of Qualifications or separate. But we have a heading for Qualifications; we can put required and preferred there. Physical requirements maybe also part of Qualifications. But we could also add a separate "Requirements" section for physical requirements. However instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Qualifications and Work Environment into one "Qualifications" section that includes required, preferred, and physical requirements. Or we could have "Requirements" for physical and "Qualifications" for education/experience. But we need to decide. Given the list of suggested headings includes Requirements and Qualifications separate. We could use both if we have content. Let's see: Requirements could be the physical requirements and work environment. Qualifications could be education/experience. That seems reasonable. Thus sections: - About the role (h3) - Responsibilities (h3) - Requirements (h3) (physical requirements, work environment) - Qualifications (h3) (required & preferred) - Benefits (h3) - Pay (h3) (performance-based pay) - Schedule (h3) (location hours and academy hours) We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. We must strip boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present. We must preserve all substantive information. Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". We have none. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to ensure we convert the bullet points (starting with •) into

    • . Also the list under "What we offer:" currently has weird HTML with
    • . We'll extract the benefit items. Let's extract content. About the role: Paragraph: "Are You Ready to Make an Immediate Impact? Babilou Family US is part of the global Babilou Family network and brings a local, community-focused approach to early childhood education through our Little Sprouts, Building Blocks, and Heartworks schools. We are looking for a proactive and collaborative team member who will support our mission and contribute meaningfully to this role. As an Assistant Teacher, you will contribute to a safe, nurturing, and sustainable learning environment where children can grow, explore, and thrive. You will support the Certified Teacher in implementing meaningful learning experiences, maintaining an organized and eco‑minded classroom, and fostering respectful relationships with children, families, and colleagues. This role is ideal for someone excited about early learning, teamwork, and incorporating sustainable education practices into daily routines. Our work is guided by our educational approach, Sustainable Education®, which bridges research and daily practice to help children thrive and lay the foundation for lifelong learning. We’re in what we like to call the science of children. Everything we do is rooted in research about how young minds grow— how they learn, connect, and build the skills that last a lifetime. We also lead our HONOR values: Humility, Open-Mindedness, Nurture, Ownership, and Recognition. This guiding framework fosters an environment where educators, children, families, and partners feel valued, empowered, and inspired to grow. This location will operate year-round, Monday–Friday, 7:00AM-6:00PM" Also there is "What We Will Achieve Together:" bullet list: - We will cultivate a classroom community that emphasizes curiosity, responsibility, and care for one another and the world. - We will integrate sustainable education principles into daily practices such as resource conservation, awareness of the natural environment, and mindful consumption. - We will maintain safe, well‑organized, and developmentally supportive learning spaces. - We will strengthen communication, collaboration, and family partnerships. - We will promote continuous professional learning grounded in sustainability and high‑quality early education. These could be part of About the role or Responsibilities? They are outcomes. Could be part of About the role as well. We'll include them under About the role as a
        . Now Responsibilities: "What you’ll do:" with subheadings: Classroom Support - Assist the Certified Teacher in implementing daily lesson plans and learning experiences that support whole‑child development and introduce age‑appropriate sustainability concepts. - Help maintain a clean, organized, and environmentally responsible classroom environment by following sustainable routines related to materials, storage, and resource use. Child Supervision and Development - Supervise children during classroom activities, meals, transitions, and outdoor experiences that encourage exploration and connection with nature. - Serve as a Mandated Reporter in accordance with state law, maintaining full responsibility to recognize, document, and immediately report any suspected child abuse, neglect, or endangerment. - Support individual developmental needs and nurture children’s understanding of caring for themselves, others, and the environment. Family Interaction - Greet families warmly and assist with sustainable communication practices such as digital updates, purposeful resource use, and consistent messaging directed by the Certified Teacher. - Participate in family engagement events that may include sustainability‑themed activities or community learning opportunities. Professional Development - Attend all required training sessions and maintain certifications related to early childhood education, safety, and sustainable practices. - Collaborate with the teaching team to enhance classroom systems, curriculum, and sustainability initiatives. We need to output these as lists. Could either have subheadings

        but instruction only mentions

        for section headings. It didn't forbid other headings, but we should stick to

        for sections. For subheadings we could use

        ... or just include as part of list items. Simpler: we can make a single

          for responsibilities, each item containing the description. But we lose subheadings. However we could embed subheadings as inside
        • . That's acceptable. Thus Responsibilities section:

          Responsibilities

          then
          • ... etc. Now Requirements (physical requirements and work environment): Work Environment: - Active classroom environment with regular interaction with children, families, and team members - Movement between indoor and outdoor learning spaces throughout the day - Collaborative setting with consistent communication and teamwork Physical Requirements (bullet list): - Ability to move throughout the school for prolonged periods, including standing and walking for up to 75 percent of the workday. - Ability to transition between sitting, standing, bending, kneeling, and squatting throughout the day to engage with children and support staff. - Ability to safely lift, carry, and move items up to 30 pounds, including classroom materials, supplies, and occasional assistance with children’s belongings. - Ability to sit on the floor, engage at a child’s eye level, and participate in age-appropriate activities including light running, outdoor play supervision, and interactive learning experiences. - Comfort working in a dynamic, sometimes noisy environment with frequent interruptions and regular movement between indoor and outdoor spaces. - Ability to supervise children on playgrounds, in classrooms, hallways, entryways, and common areas. - Ability to respond quickly and safely in emergency situations, including evacuations, drills, and urgent classroom needs. - Ability to follow and model all safety procedures. - All employees must complete a background check as required by the Department of Early Education and Care.

(But we already have Pay section; maybe we should not duplicate. However the benefit list includes performance-based pay. We could still include it in Benefits but we also have Pay section. To avoid duplication, we could keep Pay separate and not include performance-based pay in Benefits. But the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; we can include it in both sections? Might be duplication but not prohibited. However better to avoid redundancy. We'll keep Pay section for performance-based pay, and Benefits for other items excluding that line. Thus Benefits list: - Up to 50% childcare tuition discount. - Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance, effective on your first day of employment. - Free First Stop Health membership, providing 24/7 access to virtual primary care, urgent care, and short-term mental health support. - 401(k) retirement plan with annual discretionary employer match contribution. - Optional life insurance and short/long-term disability coverage, helping provide financial protection and peace of mind. - Career growth and professional development opportunities, including training, mentorship, and our dedicated CHILD Conference. - Generous paid time off and holiday benefits, including an annual Winter Break closure between Christmas and New Year's so employees can enjoy additional time with family and friends. - Employee Assistance Program (EAP),
