About The Position
As an Early Preschool Mandarin Teacher, you will support a classroom of children ages 2–3 years old in a nurturing learning environment.

You will work collaboratively with your partner teacher to ensure the successful operation of the classroom while fostering a safe, engaging, and developmentally appropriate environment.
