• Passionate about preschool education and working with young children.
• Patient, nurturing, energetic, and dependable.
• Positive and professional.
• A strong communicator and team player.
• Creative and excited to plan engaging learning experiences.
• Committed to helping children develop the skills they need for kindergarten and beyond.

Previous preschool, pre-K, childcare, or early childhood education experience is preferred.

• Supportive leadership that values your ideas
• Positive, family-oriented work environment
• Beautiful classrooms with high-quality educational resources
• Research-based curriculum and classroom support
• Ongoing professional development and paid training
