About The Position

The Learning Experience - Clarkston is seeking an experienced and enthusiastic Preschool Lead Teacher to create an engaging classroom where children build confidence, independence, and the early academic skills they need for kindergarten. We're looking for an educator who enjoys taking ownership of a classroom, creating meaningful learning experiences, and working collaboratively with families and fellow teachers. 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.
