Lead Little Learners Teacher

Armed Services YMCA of The U S A

1d • $11 • Onsite

About The Position

We are looking for a reliable, energetic, and child-focused Lead Teacher to join our Little Learners team. This role is perfect for someone who loves early childhood development and enjoys a mix of hands-on teaching and behind-the-scenes planning.
The heart of this position is building a safe, fun, and educational environment for kids—and their parents! Since parents remain in the classroom, you’ll need to be as comfortable coaching adults as you are engaging with toddlers.

Requirements

• Proven experience working with young children (daycare, preschool, or similar settings).
• Strong communication skills (both for "toddler talk" and professional parent interactions).
• Ability to work independently on administrative and planning tasks.

Responsibilities

• Lead the Classroom: Facilitate engaging activities for children during the Tuesday/Thursday sessions.
• Parent Partnership: Communicate effectively with parents in the room. You’ll be their guide, helping them engage with their children while firmly and kindly holding boundaries to keep the class on track.
• Curriculum & Theme Planning: Get creative! You’ll be responsible for the "background work"—developing weekly themes and a simple, age-appropriate curriculum.
• Logistics & Field Trips: Take the lead on scheduling classes and organizing fun local field trips for the group.
• Reliability: Our families count on us. You must be dependable and punctual for all scheduled class times.
