Mission:
The mission of The Blake School child care (the Cub House)
is to provide high-quality child care for children three months
to four years old whose parents/guardians work at Blake. Our
core values - respect, love of learning, integrity, courage and
a commitment to pluralism - are fostered through thoughtful and
respectful care, a play-based, emergent curriculum
and a child-centered learning environment.
Please send resume to Elodie Metro, director of Blake employee
childcare, The Blake School, 110 Blake Road S, Hopkins, MN 55343
or via email to emetro@blakeschool.org. Letter(s) of
recommendation are welcome but not required at the initial stage
of the hiring process.
The Blake School is a pre-kindergarten through grade 12,
co-educational, nonsectarian, independent day school enrolling
1,331 bright, talented students from nearly 56 Twin Cities-area
communities. Founded in 1900, The Blake School has the advantage
of facilities and campuses designed for specific developmental
ages. Blake’s mission is to engage students with a dynamic,
academically challenging education in a diverse and supportive
community committed to pluralism and a common set of values.
Students pursue an integrated program of academic, artistic and
athletic activities, preparing for college, lifelong learning and
purposeful lives as community and global citizens. The school
community is also guided by its Commitment to Pluralism and core values.
The Blake School believes that a diverse society enriches all
individuals and communities. Diversity of race, ethnicity,
national origin, geography, religion, gender, affectional or
sexual orientation, age, physical ability, and marital, parental
or economic status forms the fabric of our society. As a result of
these beliefs, The Blake School actively seeks students, families
and employees who value and contribute to the fullness of a
diverse community within the context of its mission. In doing so,
we recognize our responsibility to help make each person's
experience a success. EOE
