Toddler Teacher
About The Position
The Goddard School® located in Collegeville, PA is looking for a caring, energetic Toddler Teacher to join our team! The toddler years are an exciting time of incredible growth. Children are developing language, building independence, forming friendships and discovering something new every day. As a Toddler Teacher, you’ll help create a warm, engaging classroom where children feel safe, supported and excited to explore the world around them. You’ll work alongside a collaborative teaching team to plan fun, developmentally appropriate activities, establish positive classroom routines and celebrate all of those important toddler milestones — from new words and growing confidence to learning how to share, communicate and do things “all by myself!” And you won’t have to create everything from scratch! Our teachers have access to Goddard’s proprietary curriculum, lesson ideas and educational resources to help guide classroom learning, while still having the freedom to bring their own creativity, interests and teaching style into their lessons. We want our teachers to feel supported with great resources while having the flexibility to make learning engaging and meaningful for the children in their classroom. Nurture your growth. Empower your success. At our school, teachers are valued members of our community. You’ll be supported by an experienced leadership team, work in a positive and welcoming environment, and have opportunities to grow your skills and career while making a meaningful difference in children’s lives. If you’re patient, dependable, enthusiastic and genuinely enjoy working with young children, we’d love to meet you! No Nights - No Weekends!!! Our School offers a premium educational experience in state-of-the-art facilities, helping every child become a joyful, confident learner ready for success in school and life.
