Create. Inspire. Grow. (And be supported while you do it.) At Temple Sinai Preschool, we believe early childhood education should be joyful, for children and for educators. We're looking for a flexible, relationship-driven Early Childhood Teacher (ECT) Floater, who loves stepping into different classrooms, supporting colleagues, and building connections across our school community. If you believe in play-based learning, value collaboration, and want to be part of a warm, professional team, we'd love to meet you.

As a Floater Teacher, you're an essential part of our school. You'll:

• $21.00–$24.00/hour based off education and experience
• Guaranteed $500 raise every year you stay with us
• Annual cost-of-living increases

Time off that actually feels like time off:
