  • Ensure a safe, nurturing, and well-organized learning environment.


What We’re Looking For

  • 3–5 years of experience as a lead or head teacher.

  • New York State Initial or Permanent Early Childhood Certification (N-6 or B-2).

  • Passion for working with young children and seeing every child as capable and curious.

  • Team-oriented mindset and strong communication skills.

  • CPR/First Aid certified (or willing to become certified).

  • Fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
