At Tapas, the role of an Early Year Facilitator differs fundamentally from that of a conventional teacher. The Facilitator functions as a guide, observer, and co-learner, responsible for enabling Self-Directed Education (SDE) within a safe, respectful, and developmentally appropriate learning environment.

This position requires sustained presence, intellectual curiosity, emotional maturity, and a strong commitment to continuous reflection and skilled growth. As Tapas is engaged in building an unconventional educational model, adaptability and openness to ongoing learning are essential and non-negotiable aspects of the role.
