Assistant Teacher - Full Time - Paid Training - $20 - $22 per hour

Primrose School • Burlington, MA

1d • Onsite

About The Position

This is a dynamic school role where no two days are exactly the same. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys working with children, values teamwork, and wants to be an essential part of the daily life of the school. At Primrose, this is not a traditional assistant role with a classroom hierarchy. This is a school-based support teaching position that moves where needed, helps classrooms stay strong, and provides reliable coverage across the building. Over time, this role may become more consistently connected to one classroom based on school needs and fit. As a Support Teacher, you will work across multiple classrooms as needed during the school day. You may help with transitions, classroom coverage, daily routines, child supervision, and maintaining a calm, organized environment for children and faculty. This role is important to the consistency and stability of the entire school. This role is a strong fit for someone who is flexible, dependable, and comfortable working with a variety of age groups, teaching teams, and classroom needs. It is also a strong entry point for someone who wants hands-on experience in early childhood education while developing broad school-based experience.
