With multiple schools across New York City, NYPKC blends a research-backed, play-based curriculum with a fun and supportive environment, delivering a full family experience for children and parents. We are seeking a high-energy Enrichment Teacher to provide New York City’s 0 to 6-year-olds with a foundation for lifelong learning through our incredible enrichment classes. In this "jack of all trades" role, you are part athlete, part scientist, and part performer- transitioning seamlessly from spotting a budding gymnast on the bars, to leading a "mad science" experiment, or coaching a parent and toddler through their very first steps. As a natural storyteller with a flair for the dramatic and a heart for early childhood development, you will turn every lesson into a core memory, ensuring our youngest learners feel confident, inspired, and excited to explore the world around them.
