Compensation: Starting at $42,000+, depending on experience
Benefits: Flexible schedule (outside of regular class commitments), Paid time off

 

About Kidizens

At Kidizens, we empower future leaders—one city at a time. Our innovative, project-based educational program uses LEGO® city-building framework to teach children ages 6 to 12 about government, economics, problem-solving, and civic responsibility.

We believe learning should be hands-on, imaginative, and meaningful. Through collaborative city-building projects, kids develop critical thinking, leadership, and social-emotional skills that prepare them for the real world.

The Role: Lead Teacher

Are you passionate about working with children in a creative and educational setting? Do you thrive in a dynamic, project-based learning environment filled with LEGOs and big ideas?

We’re seeking an enthusiastic and motivated Lead Teacher to facilitate our after-school and homeschool programs across various Bay Area locations (San Mateo, Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, San Jose). As a Lead Teacher at Kidizens, you'll guide students through engaging civic, economic, and leadership lessons while they build their own LEGO cities. You’ll act as a mentor, moderator, and creative collaborator—helping young learners think critically and make socially responsible decisions.

Responsibilities

  • Facilitate engaging, project-based lessons using Kidizens’ curriculum

  • Guide students (ages 6–11) through collaborative LEGO city-building projects

  • Foster a fun, creative, and respectful classroom environment

  • Manage classroom behavior and ensure student safety

  • Communicate regularly and professionally with parents, team members, and school partners

  • Assist with marketing, community outreach, and curriculum development as needed

  • Represent Kidizens professionally and enthusiastically in the community

Qualifications

Required:

  • Bachelor’s degree (or currently pursuing one) in Education or a related field

  • Experience working with children in a classroom, camp, or enrichment setting

  • Strong classroom and behavior management skills

  • Excellent verbal and written communication

  • Basic proficiency with technology

  • Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team

Preferred:

  • Associate degree holders with strong experience will also be considered

  • Passion for civics, leadership, and hands-on learning

  • Experience with social-emotional learning (SEL) or project-based curriculum

  • Creative, flexible, energetic, and positive personality

Who Should Apply?

We welcome applications from:

  • Educators and aspiring teachers

  • Policy-minded professionals interested in civic education

  • College students or recent graduates seeking meaningful experience in education

  • Anyone passionate about inspiring young learners through creativity, leadership, and play

Why Work at Kidizens?

  • Make a real impact: Help shape the next generation of civic-minded leaders

  • Work creatively: Use LEGO bricks as a teaching tool to build engagement and imagination

  • Grow professionally: Gain valuable experience with a unique educational model

  • Enjoy flexibility: Customize your schedule outside of set class times
