Job Description

Salary: $38,000 - $70,000 Annual Salary

The Douglas Family Early Childhood Center of Sinai Akiba Academy is looking for experienced, dedicated early childhood educators to join our dynamic teaching team. This role involves working with a supportive and talented team of diverse faculty in a fun, warm, and nurturing learning environment for children aged 18 months to 5 years old. DFECC teachers embrace developmental and play-based pedagogy, working closely with a classroom teaching team to facilitate learning experiences aligned with the school's mission and values. We seek exceptional early childhood teachers with a sound understanding of best practices in play-based teaching and child development to begin in August 2026.

Sinai Akiba Academy offers a competitive salary in a collaborative and engaging teaching community.

Our core values of Kehillah Kedoshah (Sacred Community); Talmud Torah (Academic Excellence); Derech Eretz (Kindness, Empathy, & Respect); Tzedek, Tzedek Tirdof (Ethical Responsibility); Avodat Halev (Soulful Intention), and Ahavat Yisrael (Love for Israel) serve as a commitment with the students, families and community members that we serve to energize the present, explore the past, and embrace the future.

  • Instill Ahavat Israel (Love of Israel): Love for the people and Land of Israel through ensuring that Jewish and Israeli symbols are displayed and referred to, including, but not limited to, Singing HaTikvah (Israeli national anthem), celebrating Yom Haatzmaut (Israel Independence Day)

  • 403b and employer funded retirement plans

In the spirit of pay transparency we share the base annual salary range for this position: $38,000 - $70,000. Annual base salary is exclusive of fringe benefits, retirement plan employer contributions or potential stipends (for eligible employees). Pay ranges at SAA are reasonable estimates of what the School anticipates paying for a role but are not guaranteed. If hired at SAA, your final annual base salary will be determined by factors such as skills, education, experience, job level, part-time status and number of months of work per academic year. In addition to those factors, we believe in the importance of pay equity and consider internal equity with our current employees as a part of any final offer. Please keep in mind that the range mentioned above is the full annual base salary range for the role. Hiring at the maximum of the range is not typical for SAA in order to allow for future and continued salary growth.

Applicants may submit their cover letter and resume for consideration to Jen Cavalieri, Associate Director of DFECC, at View email address on ziprecruiter.com.
