Education$25–$27.8/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description: "Want to make a difference..." etc. We need to identify sections: maybe "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. Let's parse. Content: - Intro: "Want to make a difference in a child’s life? Our agency provides employees with a positive work environment and the ability to balance work & home along with excellent benefits. Our benefit package includes: medical, dental, vision, life insurance including sick, vacation, and personal leave with 11 paid holiday's and a fully vested retirement plan with an up to 5% match. Position is a full-time, benefited position that starts out between $25.00 - $27.80 per hour. Position is located in the Santa Maria area at the Westgate Head Start Center." That includes benefits, pay, location, schedule? Not schedule explicitly. It says full-time, benefited position. No schedule details like hours per week. So we may not include Schedule section unless explicit. - Then "Teachers work in partnership with the team teacher to develop weekly lesson plans for preschool children, develops and maintains a safe and positive classroom climate, and an intentional learning environment; screens and assesses each child using appropriate screening/assessment tools; individualizes the educational plans for each child based on ongoing developmental assessments. Engages parents of various cultural backgrounds in their Childs education." Then "Essential Duties and Responsibilities: Other duties may be assigned. When in the teacher/child ratio, maintains 100% supervision of all children, by sight and sound at all times.Plans high quality, developmentally appropriate learning experiences with the team teacher. Carries out a bilingual, multicultural, anti-bias curriculum designed to meet children’s developmental needs within program guidelines.Develops positive relationships with each child and parent.Maintains an indoor and outdoor classroom environment consistent with Head Start/Child Development, Licensing and Agency standards.Maintains the confidentiality of records and information of enrolled families.Assists children with self-care needs such as tooth brushing, diapering, toileting, hand washing and wiping noses.Maintains a physically safe environment and clean well-organized equipment and learning materials indoors and out.Attends and contributes to regular staff meetings and curriculum planning meetings.Plans monthly/weekly curriculum with team teacher that scaffolds children’s development.Works on a regular basis with the team teacher to plan and evaluate individualization of the curriculum and behavior plans if applicable.Is responsible for large group three times a week and a small group (primary language) daily.Plans and carries out transition activities for children who are entering or leaving the class/center.Maintains narrative records on each child related to their development.Completes required paper and electronic records in a timely manner.Assumes responsibility for maintenance of required assessments and screenings.Attends IEP (Individual Education Plan) meetings for special needs children with consultants, school district personnel and parents as required.Attends parent meetings upon request.Provides daily on-going communication with parents regarding children’s activities, development, and special needs.Makes at least 2 home visits, and two parent conferences with each assigned child's family annually.

Communicates effectively with families and co-workers.Performs other comparable related duties as required." That's responsibilities. Then "Knowledge, Skill & Ability Required Teacher II: Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education/Child Development or a related field and eligible for a Child Development Teacher permit or higher from California Commission on Teacher Credentialing with three semester units in supervised field experience. Six (6) infant and toddler units required. Teacher III: Bachelor's Degree or higher with 12 units of Early Childhood Education/Child Development and eligible for a Child Development Master Teacher permit or higher from California Commission on Teacher Credentialing with three semester units in supervised field experience and one year of experience as an Early Childhood Teacher.

Acceptable verifications include immunization record and physician statement. Exceptions to vaccinations: Flu can be waived by completing annual waiver. CommUnify, EOE" We need to extract benefits, pay, location maybe as part of About the role? The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Thus we need to decide which sections to include. We have benefits explicitly listed: medical, dental, vision, life insurance including sick, vacation, personal leave with 11 paid holidays and a fully vested retirement plan with up to 5% match. So we can have Benefits section. Pay: "starts out between $25.00 - $27.80 per hour." That's specific, so Pay section. Schedule: Not explicitly given; only says full-time, benefited position. No schedule details like hours per week or shift. So we should NOT include Schedule section. About the role: Could include overview: "Want to make a difference..." plus location etc. Could be a prose paragraph. Responsibilities: The long list of duties. Requirements: Might combine Knowledge, Skill & Ability Required, Computer Skills, Certificates, Licenses, Registrations, Other Skills and Abilities, Other Qualifications. Could be a Requirements section. Qualifications: Might be overlapping with Requirements. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section called Requirements (or Qualifications). The instruction list includes both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. We need to decide based on content. The posting has "Knowledge, Skill & Ability Required Teacher II..." etc. That's qualifications. Also "Computer Skills", "Certificates, Licenses, Registrations", "Other Skills and Abilities", "Other Qualifications". So we could have a Requirements section covering all those. Skills: Could be separate but we have Computer Skills listed; also "Other Skills and Abilities". Might be part of Requirements. Better to have sections: About the role (prose), Responsibilities (ul), Requirements (ul or mix), Benefits (ul), Pay (p). That seems reasonable. We must not include Schedule. We must not include filler. Now format: Use

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

      for prose. Thus:

      About the role

      Want to make a difference in a child’s life? Our agency provides employees with a positive work environment and the ability to balance work & home along with excellent benefits. Our benefit package includes: medical, dental, vision, life insurance including sick, vacation, and personal leave with 11 paid holiday's and a fully vested retirement plan with an up to 5% match. Position is a full-time, benefited position that starts out between $25.00 - $27.80 per hour. Position is located in the Santa Maria area at the Westgate Head Start Center.

      But note that benefits and pay are also mentioned here; we might want to move them to separate sections. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; we can keep them in About the role but then also have Benefits and Pay sections; that would duplicate. Better to split: About the role includes overview and location, but not benefits/pay. Then Benefits section lists benefits. Pay section lists pay. That avoids duplication. Thus About the role: "Want to make a difference in a child’s life? Our agency provides employees with a positive work environment and the ability to balance work & home along with excellent benefits. Position is located in the Santa Maria area at the Westgate Head Start Center." But we removed benefits and pay from that paragraph. However we removed "excellent benefits" phrase? Might be okay to keep generic but we need to preserve substantive info; "excellent benefits" is vague but okay. We'll keep. Now Benefits section: list medical, dental, vision, life insurance including sick, vacation, and personal leave with 11 paid holiday's and a fully vested retirement plan with an up to 5% match. We need to put as
      • each item? Could be one li with the whole sentence, but better to split: medical, dental, vision, life insurance, sick leave, vacation leave, personal leave, 11 paid holidays, fully vested retirement plan with up to 5% match. However the original says "life insurance including sick, vacation, and personal leave with 11 paid holiday's". Actually phrasing: "medical, dental, vision, life insurance including sick, vacation, and personal leave with 11 paid holiday's and a fully vested retirement plan with an up to 5% match." It's ambiguous. We'll keep as a single li preserving the exact phrase. Pay section:

        Position starts out between $25.00 - $27.80 per hour.

        Responsibilities section: need to list duties as
        • each duty. The responsibilities list is long; we need to split into items. We must preserve all substantive information; we can break at each sentence or clause separated by periods. Let's parse the responsibilities paragraph after "Essential Duties and Responsibilities: Other duties may be assigned." Then list: - When in the teacher/child ratio, maintains 100% supervision of all children, by sight and sound at all times. - Plans high quality, developmentally appropriate learning experiences with the team teacher. - Carries out a bilingual, multicultural, anti-bias curriculum designed to meet children’s developmental needs within program guidelines. - Develops positive relationships with each child and parent. - Maintains an indoor and outdoor classroom environment consistent with Head Start/Child Development, Licensing and Agency standards. - Maintains the confidentiality of records and information of enrolled families. - Assists children with self-care needs such as tooth brushing, diapering, toileting, hand washing and wiping noses. - Maintains a physically safe environment and clean well-organized equipment and learning materials indoors and out. - Attends and contributes to regular
