Job Description

Three-Year-Old Preschool Teacher

Come Grow With Us—and Help Our Three-Year-Olds Learn, Explore, and Shine!

We are looking for a caring, energetic, and enthusiastic Preschool Teacher to lead our three-year-old classroom. This is a wonderful opportunity for someone who loves the curiosity, imagination, big personalities, and growing independence that make three-year-olds so much fun!

Our ideal teacher understands that at three, every day is an adventure. Whether you’re reading a favorite story, creating an art project, helping children learn to share, celebrating a successful potty trip, or answering the tenth “Why?” of the morning, you’ll play an important role in helping our children feel safe, loved, confident, and excited to learn.

What You’ll Do

• Create a warm, nurturing, structured, and engaging classroom environment where three-year-olds can thrive.
• Plan fun, age-appropriate learning experiences through play, art, music, movement, stories, sensory activities, and hands-on exploration.
• Support early learning skills such as language development, counting, colors, shapes, fine motor skills, and beginning problem-solving.
• Help children develop important social-emotional skills, including sharing, taking turns, expressing feelings, making friends, and resolving conflicts.
• Encourage growing independence with routines such as handwashing, cleaning up, dressing, mealtimes, and toileting.
• Provide patient and positive guidance while establishing consistent classroom expectations and routines.
• Observe and celebrate each child’s individual growth and developmental milestones.
• Build caring, trusting relationships with children and their families.
• Communicate with families about their child’s day, accomplishments, needs, and development.
• Maintain a clean, organized, welcoming, and safe classroom.
• Collaborate with fellow teachers and staff to create a positive and supportive school community.
• Follow all health, safety, licensing, and school policies and procedures.

We’d Love to Meet You If You Are...

• Someone who genuinely loves working with three-year-olds!
• Patient, nurturing, dependable, and positive.
• Energetic enough to keep up with busy little learners.
• Creative and excited about making learning fun.
• Comfortable providing loving guidance, structure, and consistency.
• A strong communicator and team player.
• Someone who understands that every child develops at their own pace.
• Experienced in childcare, preschool, or early childhood education
• Able to meet all state and program requirements for the position.

Why Join Our Team?

Being a preschool teacher is so much more than a job. You get to be there for the little moments that become big milestones —new friendships, growing confidence, new words and skills, creative discoveries, and plenty of laughter along the way.

We want our teachers to feel appreciated, supported, and excited to come to work.

We offer:

• A welcoming and supportive team environment
• Opportunities for professional growth and development
• The chance to make a meaningful difference every day

If you have a big heart for little learners and would love to spend your days helping a wonderful group of three-year-olds learn, laugh, explore, and grow , we would love to meet you.

Apply today and help us make every day a great day to learn and grow!
