Title: Lead Preschool Teacher – 2-Year-Old Classroom | Full-Time | NYC Early Childhood Educator
Location: New York City, NY
Compensation: $23–$29.40 per hour (based on education and experience)
Make a difference every day — with a team that values you.
Vivvi is reimagining early childhood education. We're not your typical preschool—and definitely not just another daycare. Our licensed childcare center and private preschool in New York City creates classrooms where children thrive through play-based learning, emergent curriculum, creative curriculum approaches, and social-emotional learning (SEL).
We are seeking a full-time Lead Preschool Teacher / Early Childhood Educator to guide our 2-year-old toddler classroom in an innovative early learning center. This role is perfect for experienced toddler teachers and educators passionate about child-centered instruction, Teaching Strategies, and NYS early learning standards.
What You'll DoLead your toddler classroom with warmth, creativity, and purpose:
- Lead a 2-year-old preschool classroom in a licensed childcare center, implementing developmentally appropriate curriculum aligned with NYS early learning standards.
- Design and deliver experiences using play-based learning, emergent curriculum, creative curriculum approaches, and social-emotional learning (SEL).
- Observe, assess, and track progress with Teaching Strategies GOLD, supporting each child's developmental milestones.
- Build meaningful relationships with families and communicate regularly about progress.
- Maintain a safe, nurturing, and organized early childhood classroom environment.
- Collaborate with your teaching team to plan and execute curriculum aligned with best practices in early childhood education.
- Guide classroom routines, preschool classroom management, and daily operations with professionalism and care.
- 3–5 years of preschool teaching experience, preferably as a Lead Teacher, Head Teacher, or Toddler Teacher.
- Experience in a licensed childcare center, private preschool, or early learning center.
- New York State B-2 or N-6 Teaching Certification preferred, or active study plan toward certification.
- Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education or related field preferred.
- Familiarity with play-based learning, emergent curriculum, creative curriculum approaches, Teaching Strategies GOLD, and social-emotional learning (SEL).
- Passion for supporting young children's growth, curiosity, and potential.
- Strong communication skills and a collaborative, team-oriented mindset.
- CPR / First Aid certification (or willingness to obtain).
- Fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
