Full job description
Lead Young Preschool Teacher – Inspire Wonder, Lead with Purpose
At The Goddard School, we believe early childhood education should be filled with curiosity, connection, and joy. We are seeking an experienced, passionate Lead Preschool Teacher who is ready to take ownership of a classroom, lead with heart, and help shape a school culture where children—and teachers—thrive.
This is more than a teaching role. It is a leadership opportunity for an educator who loves building meaningful relationships, guiding young learners through discovery, and mentoring others along the way.
Our classrooms are guided by our proprietary Wonder of Learning™ curriculum, rooted in inquiry-based, play-driven experiences that spark imagination and support whole-child development.
What You’ll Do
Lead a preschool classroom with confidence, creativity, and care
Design and implement engaging, developmentally appropriate learning experiences
Guide children through hands-on, inquiry-based discovery and play
Build strong, trusting relationships with families through ongoing communication
Observe, document, and support each child’s developmental growth
Create a warm, structured environment where children feel safe, seen, and excited to learn
Mentor and support assistant teachers within your classroom team
Partner with leadership to continuously elevate classroom quality
What Makes This Role Different
You are empowered as a leader in the classroom, not just a teacher in it
You help shape a culture of curiosity, kindness, and excellence
You are part of a school that values your voice, ideas, and professional growth
Clear opportunity for future advancement into administrative and leadership roles
A supportive environment where teachers are respected, trusted, and developed
What We’re Looking For
CDA (Child Development Associate) credential required
Candidates currently working toward CDA completion may be considered
Experience working with children ages 3–5 in a preschool or early childhood setting
Strong understanding of early childhood development and best practices
Confident classroom leader with positive behavior guidance skills
Warm, friendly, nurturing personality with a genuine passion for early learning
Strong communication and teamwork skills
Ability to create a positive, engaging, and structured classroom environment
CPR/First Aid certification is not required at time of hire (training and certification provided by The Goddard School)
Why Join Our School
Consistent schedule with no evenings or weekends
Supportive leadership team and collaborative school culture
Strong focus on professional development and growth
Opportunity to grow into future leadership or administrative roles
A joyful, structured environment where educators can thrive
Benefits
Competitive salary ($35,000–$39,000) 401(k) matching Health insurance allowance Paid time off & paid holidays Tuition assistance 50% childcare discount Professional development & training Employee discounts Flexible scheduling
Our Philosophy
At The Goddard School, we believe the joy of childhood comes from moments of discovery—when curiosity leads to wonder and learning feels like play. For more than 35 years, Goddard Schools have trusted, empowered, and supported educators who make those moments possible every day.
Important Note
Each Goddard School location is independently owned and operated.
