This is an excellent opportunity for a certified educator who may be beginning their professional journey in early childhood education and is looking for a school where they can learn, contribute, and grow as part of a supportive faculty.

The teacher will create a classroom where children feel safe, loved, engaged, and excited to come to school each day.

• Planning and delivering engaging, developmentally appropriate instruction and activities
• Creating a warm, welcoming, organized, and safe classroom environment

We are looking for someone who is compassionate, dependable, creative, collaborative, and genuinely enjoys working with young children. Strong communication skills and the ability to build positive relationships with children, families, colleagues, and school leadership are essential.

Our school continues to strengthen its academic programs, expand opportunities for students, and build a positive school culture rooted in faith, kindness, high expectations, and partnership with families. We value the individual strengths and ideas that each faculty member brings to our community and want our teachers to continue growing alongside their students.
