Would you like to teach preschool in an amazing location with a great school-year schedule?
Old South Preschool in Boston is seeking a warm, experienced, enthusiastic, and dedicated teacher. Successful candidates will work cooperatively with a co-teacher to implement play-based, emergent curriculum, focusing on children’s developmental goals and supporting the continued success of the program. EEC certification is required, along with a minimum of an associate degree in early-childhood education, child development, or a related field. A bachelor's degree is preferred.
Old South Preschool is located inside the historic Old South Church. We offer a non-religious early-education program that serves approximately 40 children, ages two through five, on a school-year calendar, from Monday through Friday, 8:45 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Our curriculum is emergent, allowing for the interests of children to help guide learning and the creation of meaningful experiences. In this way, learning is collaborative, prioritizing active participation, inquiry, relationship building, and flexibility.
Conveniently situated in Boston’s Copley Square, we take full advantage of our location, making the city our classroom. We visit, among other locations, the Boston Public Library, the Public Garden, local parks, and area businesses that relate to current curriculum. Families and program staff create a vibrant, interconnected community that holds the development of the whole child as its focus.
WE: love what we do, value our mutually respectful relationships with children, families, and colleagues, and consistently strive to make the school an engaging and inviting space.
YOU: are a passionate and patient early-childhood educator, with strong communication skills and a growth mindset.
In addition to a competitive salary, Old South Preschool offers a full benefits package that includes health and dental insurance, generous employer contributions to a retirement plan, paid time off, professional development assistance, and a 50% contribution toward monthly public transit. Old South Preschool is dedicated to creating a workforce that promotes and supports diversity and inclusion. We provide equal employment opportunities to all individuals without discrimination.
This position begins 8/26/24.
