About The Position

Northstar Preschools is seeking a dependable, hands-on floating teacher for its Washington Terrace center. The teacher will work with children from infancy through school age, providing classroom coverage and helping classrooms maintain their routines.

Responsibilities

• Actively supervise children indoors and outdoors, maintain accurate headcounts, and follow procedures for classroom ratios and child safety.
• Lead and support age-appropriate activities, including learning centers, stories, art, and hands-on outdoor exploration.
• Assist with daily care routines such as meals, snacks, diapering, toileting, handwashing, and rest time, depending on the age group.
• Build warm relationships with children and use positive guidance to help them resolve conflicts, practice classroom expectations, and become more independent.
• Prepare materials, clean and sanitize classroom spaces and supplies, and reset learning centers for the next activity.
• Communicate children’s needs, incidents, and important updates to classroom teachers and administrators so the next teacher knows what happened during the shift.
• Follow center policies and participate in staff meetings, training, and professional development.
