About The Position

Are you passionate about early childhood education? Join us at Wonderspring as a PHLpreK Lead Teacher in our STAR 4 center, where we foster a nurturing and stimulating environment. You'll develop and implement lessons aligned with PA Early Learning Standards, ensure top educational and health practices, assess student progress, and collaborate with parents and teachers to support each child's growth. Become part of an organization that not only values FUN but also focuses on developing your skills and talents. What You’ll Get to Do (and Have Fun Doing!) Create hands-on lessons that turn ordinary days into colorful adventures. Post your weekly lesson plans where parents can see so they know what exciting escapades their little ones are enjoying. Keep an eagle eye on our little adventurers, ensuring their well-being and comfort. Less “No, don’t do that!” and more “Let’s try it this way!” Maintain a cheerful, can-do attitude with children, parents, and colleagues (yes, even when someone spills glitter everywhere!). Gently guide children toward positive behavior choices using techniques like FLIP IT and Second Step. Observe, document, and celebrate each child’s progress, sharing their victories (big and small) with proud parents. Keep parents in the loop with updates and celebrate their children’s achievements. Invite them to Family/Teacher Conferences where you’ll team up to help their child shine bright!
