About us


Bemis Farms was established in 1994 on 18 acres of farmland in Saline, Michigan. The grounds are filled 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 a fantastic experience as a role model, enjoy receiving hugs, and want to feel good about the important job of being unique 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 create a caring and safe environment for the children and assisting in activities to improve their education's overall care and quality. 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 developing positive relationships with the children and their parents, the Teacher Assistant observes and documents childrens interests and progress and relays that information to parents and staff. Teacher Assistants are responsible for implementing developmentally appropriate activities based on childrens interests and needs under the direction of the Lead Teacher and the Director.
