•Bible stories and character development

Every activity is planned with purpose to help children grow academically, socially, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

•Plan and implement developmentally appropriate lessons aligned with our curriculum and year-end objectives.

•Foster children's curiosity, confidence, independence, and love of learning.

•Build strong partnerships with families through ongoing communication.

•Observe and document children's growth and developmental progress.

•Collaborate closely with colleagues to provide a consistent, high-quality educational experience.

•Maintain a classroom that reflects excellence in organization, safety, and care.

Qualifications

What We're Looking For

We are seeking a teacher who sees the toddler years as an incredible opportunity to inspire curiosity, build confidence, and lay the foundation for lifelong learning. The ideal candidate is patient, creative, energetic, and committed to helping each child reach their fullest potential in a nurturing school environment.

If you are passionate about early childhood education and want to be part of a supportive team that values excellence, relationships, and purposeful learning, we encourage you to apply.

Join us in making a lasting difference in the lives of our youngest learners!

Additional Requirements

Teachers support social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development through play-based, developmentally appropriate activities while maintaining compliance with Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care (EEC) regulations.
