  • Design and implement inquiry-based curriculum that inspires discovery and meets developmental milestones.

  • Foster children's social, emotional, and academic growth through play, conversation, and connection.

  • Communicate proactively with families about progress and milestones.

  • Ensure a safe, nurturing, and well-organized learning environment.

What We're Looking For
  • 3–5 years of experience as a lead or head teacher.

  • New York State Initial or Permanent Early Childhood Certification (N-6 or B-2) .

  • Passion for working with young children and seeing every child as capable and curious.

  • Team-oriented mindset and strong communication skills.

  • CPR/First Aid certified (or willing to become certified).

  • Fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

Why You'll Love Working at Vivvi

???? Competitive Pay & Benefits

  • Salaries from $65,000–$76,686

  • Health, dental, and vision insurance

  • 401(k)

  • Commuter benefits and tuition reimbursement

  • Robust onboarding, mentorship, and coaching

  • Ongoing professional development days

  • Opportunities for promotion and leadership

???? Inspiring Learning Environments

  • Beautiful, purpose-built classrooms with high-quality materials

  • A collaborative community that values creativity, curiosity, and care

???? Child-Centered Curriculum
Our educators design learning experiences based on children's interests, creating a classroom filled with exploration and joy. Learn more: vivvi.com/programs
