4K Teacher — Primrose School of Brookfield

Teach with purpose. Feel supported. Leave your work at school.

Love teaching young learners? Bring your passion for early childhood or elementary education to a classroom where you have the curriculum, materials, planning time, and support to do your best work and enjoy your evenings and weekends.

Primrose School of Brookfield is seeking a full-time 4K Teacher to help children build the academic, social, and emotional foundation for kindergarten and beyond. Whether you’re an experienced 4K teacher, an elementary educator who loves the early years, or a recent education graduate, this is an opportunity to make a lasting difference while growing your career.

A bachelor’s degree is required, preferably in early childhood education, elementary education, or a related field.

What You’ll Do

• Build kindergarten readiness through engaging experiences in early literacy, language, math, science, and creative expression.
• Teach through purposeful play, hands‑on exploration, read‑aloud, small‑group instruction, and whole‑group activities.

• Build trusting relationships with families through clear communication about their child’s learning, growth, and daily experiences.

The Support to Focus on Teaching

• Daily break and planning coverage. A dedicated support teacher gives you time to prepare and recharge.
• A co‑teacher by your side. Share ideas, responsibilities, and classroom successes with a teaching partner.
• An Education Coach invested in your growth. Receive practical guidance, feedback, and encouragement.
• A fully stocked classroom. The school provides the materials and supplies you need.
• Consistent staffing support. We staff classrooms to maintain required ratios.

Pay & Schedule

• $19–$23 per hour, based on experience and certifications.
• Guaranteed 40 hours per week, Monday–Friday.
• Set, predictable shifts—your hours are never cut.
• Free evenings and weekends.
• Quarterly bonus opportunities and compensation growth tied to experience, education, and achievements.

You also bring:

• A bachelor’s degree, preferably in early childhood education, elementary education, or a related field.
• An interest in preparing children for a confident transition to kindergarten.
• A collaborative approach to working with colleagues and families.
