Lead Headstart Teacher

Avid Management Resources

Career Opportunities with Avid Management Resources A great place to work. FACCES careers in partnership with Avid Management Our program's mission is to deliver high-quality early childhood education to children ages 3-5. We are driven by a mission to ensure our children, families and community have a strong foundation for school and life. Our well-supported program offers structure, team collaboration, professional growth and a culture that values educators as professionals. What You’ll Do: Lead a classroom of preschool-aged children (3-5 years) under the Head Start model – overseeing curriculum implementation, developmental monitoring, family engagement and classroom leadership. Plan, organize and implement developmentally appropriate, play-based learning experiences aligned with Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework and Ohio Early Learning & Development Standards. Build strong, positive relationships with children and families: communicate daily, hold family conferences, partner with families on goals and transitions. Mentor and coordinate with assistant teachers and classroom aides to maintain a high-quality, collaborative classroom environment. Ensure compliance with licensing, Head Start program standards, state regulations, classroom ratios, health/safety protocols and documentation/reporting expectations (e.g., child assessments, home visits). Participate in program-wide team meetings, professional development, planning and continuous improvement efforts. What We’re Looking For: Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education (ECE), Child Development or related field. Minimum [2-3+] years’ experience in a preschool classroom, preferably within a Head Start or similar high-quality early childhood setting. Strong knowledge of preschool child development (ages 3–5), effective instructional strategies for early learners, and familiarity with family engagement practices. Excellent communication skills — able to engage children, partner with families, collaborate with team members. Warm, nurturing, professional temperament; able to lead a dynamic classroom, support team members, and maintain high quality standards. Current CPR/First Aid certification (or willingness to obtain), valid state background check, and ability to meet licensing/Head Start staff requirements. Commitment to continuous learning, professional growth, and contributing to a mission-driven program. What You’ll Get: Competitive salary with recognition for your education level and experience. Comprehensive benefits package (health, dental, paid time off, retirement or 401k matching). Professional development support: trainings, credential support, growth opportunities (e.g., become Curriculum Specialist or Program Lead). A structured, high-quality program that values educators: supportive leadership, strong team culture, excellent curriculum and resources. The satisfaction of making a meaningful difference: shaping school-readiness and life readiness for underserved children and partnering with families in Central Ohio. Bonus/performance incentives or retention stipend (if applicable). #J-18808-Ljbffr Avid Management Resources
