About Us

WorldKids® School is pioneering a global, immersive approach to early childhood education, serving children from 12 months through Pre-K. At our brand-new, state-of-the-art facility in North Raleigh, we believe that early learning should be an inspiring, developmentally advanced adventure. We are not a traditional childcare facility; we are a premium early childhood education academy. We uniquely blend The Creative Curriculum® (powered by the Teaching Strategies digital platform) with dual-language immersion tracks in Spanish and Mandarin, fostering cognitive development, global citizenship, and multicultural appreciation as part of our core daily early childhood education routine.

The Role

We are seeking an energetic, culturally minded, and deeply passionate Lead ECE Language Immersion Teacher to join our founding early childhood education faculty. In this role, you are the educational anchor of your classroom, serving children exclusively in the 12-month to Pre-K age bracket. You will deliver high-quality early childhood education entirely in Spanish, creating a vibrant, high-trust learning environment where young children feel safe, celebrated, and deeply known. As a professional early childhood educator, you will lead classroom operations, build meaningful developmental partnerships with families, and mentor your Assistant Teacher to ensure a flawless immersion experience.

Our Campus and Neighborhood

We believe that a premium working environment extends beyond the classroom walls. Located in a vibrant, convenient pocket of North Raleigh, our brand-new facility offers unique perks that make your workday seamless, safe, and enjoyable:

• Safety First Location: Our campus sits right next door to Duke Health's Growing Child Pediatrics and is just moments away from the local fire station, providing unmatched peace of mind and an extra layer of community security for our staff, students, and families.

• Convenience at Your Fingertips: Enjoy a neighborhood packed with excellent dining options, retail spaces, and a Starbucks right down the street for your morning coffee run or midday break.

• Commuter-Friendly Access: Easily accessible from major North Raleigh transit routes, making your daily commute straightforward and stress-free.

Core Responsibilities

• Early Childhood Spanish Immersion Delivery: Conduct daily routines, early learning instructional blocks, and classroom interactions entirely in Spanish to facilitate natural language acquisition during critical early childhood development windows.

• Advanced ECE Lesson Planning: Utilize The Creative Curriculum® via the Teaching Strategies digital platform to create standards-aligned, intentional lesson plans that integrate Spanish immersion with early childhood education benchmarks.

• Classroom Management and Leadership: Direct daily classroom operations, maintain strict North Carolina state licensing safety standards, and supervise and guide Assistant Teachers to ensure a cohesive early childhood education dynamic.

• Child Assessments and Portfolios: Conduct ongoing, data-driven developmental observations and assessments using Teaching Strategies Gold to track and support each child's individual growth.

• Family Educational Partnership: Maintain warm, professional, and consistent communication with families regarding their child's early childhood education milestones and language progress.

What You Bring

• Language Fluency: Native or native-equivalent fluency in Spanish is strictly required. Strong conversational English skills are necessary for effective communication with leadership and English-speaking families.

• Early Childhood Experience: Minimum of 2 to 3 years of experience teaching in a licensed early childhood education facility or premium preschool setting. Previous experience in an immersion or dual-language early childhood education classroom is highly preferred.

• Curriculum Acumen: Familiarity with The Creative Curriculum® and the Teaching Strategies platform is a major plus. Comfort using technology for daily lesson planning and parent communication is essential.

• ECE Credentials: Must meet all North Carolina DCDEE lead teacher qualifications (including North Carolina Early Childhood Credentials or equivalent coursework). An Associate or Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education or Child Development is highly preferred.

What We Offer

• Competitive Compensation: Compensation that is highly competitive for the North Raleigh private preschool and early childhood education market and commensurate with experience.

• Comprehensive ECE Onboarding: Onboarding training covering the proprietary WorldKids model and advanced Teaching Strategies digital tools to set you up for success.

• Direct Support: Guidance from an engaged Founding Center Director and an outstanding, dedicated administrative team to assist with compliance and files.

• Perks and Benefits: Paid Time Off (PTO), professional development support, and a beautiful, brand-new, premium teaching environment.
