About us

Bemis Farms was established in 1994 on 18 acres of farmland in Saline, Michigan. The grounds are tilled with gardens and many trees – and the local farmer plants and grows a rotating crop of corn and soybeans. We encourage an outdoor learning environment (OLE) where kids can be more involved and get hands on experience with nature.

Are you energetic, love playing with children, want an amazing experience as a role model, enjoy receiving hugs and want to feel good about the important job of being special to a child? Then join our team at Bemis Farms Preschool & Childcare. Bemis Farms Preschool & Childcare is a family oriented program that strives to make a difference one child at a time. We provide a safe and nurturing environment for the children, families, and the community. Bemis Farms will promote all aspects of each child's development through interest and play.

The Assistant Teacher supports the Lead Teacher and Director by helping to create a caring and safe environment for the children and assisting in activities to improve the overall care and quality of their education. They must be able to communicate, listen and work well with others in a team environment. Assisting the staff in implementing a quality educational program and in developing positive relationships with the children and their parents, the Teacher Assistant observes and documents children’s interest and progress, and relays that information back to parents and staff. Teacher Assistants are responsible for implementing developmentally appropriate activities based on children’s interests and needs under the direction of the Lead Teacher and the Director.
