About The Position

The Learning Experience – Upper West Side is seeking an experienced Lead Preschool Teacher to guide our 3–4 year old classroom. This role focuses on preparing children for Pre-K and kindergarten readiness through structured learning experiences that support early literacy, math foundations, social development, and independence. This position is ideal for an educator who enjoys leading a classroom team while creating engaging, purposeful learning experiences in a high-quality early childhood environment. At The Learning Experience, we make early education joyful, engaging and fun so children are happy to learn, play and grow. Our curriculum focuses on the six ages and stages of early childhood development and engages children in hands-on learning activities that encourage them to explore and solve problems at their own rate of development.

At TLE®, we’ve created a full cast of characters that become our little learners’ educators, partners and friends through their preschool education journey. Each character has a unique personality and area of interest and brings learning to life by allowing children to explore the world through fun and imagination.
