Preschool Lead Teacher
About The Position
Our Lead Preschool Teachers play an important role in creating a consistent, engaging, and nurturing classroom experience for children ages 2–6. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys taking ownership of a classroom—from planning and preparation to leading the daily flow and building relationships with students and families. We’re looking for a dependable, flexible team player who wants to be part of a supportive and collaborative preschool team. Our Lead Teachers work independently within their own classrooms while also sharing ideas, communicating with fellow teachers, supporting one another, and adapting when needed to help our students and preschool ministry thrive. As a Lead Teacher, you will be responsible for planning and implementing developmentally appropriate lessons and activities, preparing classroom materials, establishing routines, and creating an environment where children can grow academically, socially, and spiritually. You’ll work closely with your Assistant Teacher to coordinate classroom responsibilities and provide clear direction and support throughout the preschool day. Lead Teachers also serve as an important connection between Adventure Kids Preschool and our families through regular classroom communication and by helping parents stay informed about what their children are learning and experiencing at preschool. We currently have an opening for a morning Lead Teacher, Monday–Thursday, 9:00–11:30 AM, with additional weekly planning and preparation time.
