We're seeking a dedicated and caring Part-Time Teacher to join our early learning classrooms. This role is perfect for someone who is passionate about helping children grow and develop, and who understands the importance of creating a safe, engaging, and developmentally appropriate learning environment.

Our program combines strong academic foundations, character development, Abeka curriculum, STE(AI)M, robotics, creativity, and hands-on learning. As a teacher with us, you'll play a key role in bringing this vision to life and providing consistent, nurturing care to every child.

The Part-Time Teacher will:

• Provide loving care and supervision to children throughout the day.
• Support classroom routines, transitions, and learning activities that promote social-emotional learning, early literacy, math, science, art, music, and hands-on discovery.
• Assist with implementing age-appropriate lessons and activities, including outdoor play and rest time.
• Help maintain a clean, organized, and welcoming classroom environment that promotes learning and exploration.
• Supervise children closely at all times, both indoors and outdoors, and ensure their physical and emotional safety.
• Support children with toileting, diapering, handwashing, feeding, and personal care needs as required.
• Follow all center policies, safety procedures, and Virginia licensing standards to ensure a safe and healthy environment.
• Communicate respectfully with children, families, coworkers, and leadership to build strong relationships and a positive classroom culture.
• Document observations, incidents, and classroom needs as required to ensure effective communication and decision-making.
• Help create a positive classroom culture where children feel known, valued, and supported in their learning journey.
• Assist with special activities, STE(AI)M projects, summer camp activities, and enrichment experiences that promote creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking.

Preferred candidates will have:

• Experience working with children in a licensed childcare center, preschool, school, camp, or similar setting.
• A patient, professional, and warm attitude towards children and families.
• Ability to follow directions, work collaboratively as part of a team, and communicate effectively with colleagues and leadership.
• Strong classroom management and communication skills to promote a positive and respectful learning environment.
• Reliability, punctuality, and good judgment to ensure a safe and healthy environment for children.
• Ability to meet Virginia child care background check and training requirements.
• CPR/First Aid certification preferred or willingness to obtain.
• CDA, early childhood coursework, or related training preferred but not required.

This role may require the ability to:

• Sit, stand, bend, kneel, lift, and move throughout the day to ensure child safety and supervision.
• Lift or assist young children as needed to support their physical and emotional development.
• Supervise children on the playground and during classroom activities to ensure their safety and well-being.
• Respond quickly and appropriately to child safety needs, and take prompt action in emergency situations.

We're looking for someone who is nurturing, structured, dependable, and flexible, with a passion for helping children grow and develop. If you understand that early childhood education is about foundation-building, and not just babysitting, we'd love to hear from you.
