LEAD PRESCHOOL TEACHER
or drop it. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we could include a short paragraph at top maybe with FLSA status, job type, revision date? But better to drop them as they are minor. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; FLSA status, job type, revision date maybe not substantive? They are metadata but maybe considered minor; we can drop them. Pay rate is substantive, schedule is substantive. So we keep Pay and Schedule. We must not include "Equal Opportunity Employer" etc. So drop that. We must not include "Reasonable Accommodation Statement" maybe we can keep as part of Requirements. Now produce HTML fragment: use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to decide which sections to include:
- About the role: position summary + culture maybe.
- Responsibilities: essential functions list.
- Requirements: qualifications, physical demands, safety requirements, reasonable accommodation.
- Skills: YMCA competencies (maybe list).
- Benefits: part-time benefits overview.
- Pay: pay rate.
- Schedule: hours per week, program hours.
We should not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have real content.
Now craft content.
About the role: combine position summary and culture.
Paragraph: "The Lead Preschool Teacher serves as the primary daily face‑to‑face contact for parents, guardians, and staff and helps sustain a high quality preschool program at the Sampson County YMCA. The role requires the competencies, skills, and proven leadership ability to carry out the YMCA mission, goals, and vision for serving the community. The Lead Teacher provides direction for the program and classroom, implements program curriculum, and delivers a quality experience to children and parents that focuses on the YMCA values of honesty, respect, responsibility, caring, and faith. The preschool program operates as a half‑day schedule from 8:45 am to 12:15 pm during the school year, with oversight of summer preschool programs, and the position averages approximately 25 hours per week. More information about the program can be found at www.ymcasenc.org/preschool."
We could also include culture sentences: "At the Y, we strive to live our purpose of strengthening communities with intention and purpose every day. We welcome all: we are open to everyone. We are a place where you can belong and become. We are genuine: we value you and embrace your individuality. We are hopeful: we believe in you and your potential to become a catalyst in the world. We nurture: we support you on your journey to develop your full potential. We are determined: above all else, we are on a relentless quest to make our community stronger, beginning with you."

Now Skills: YMCA Competencies (Leader). Could list each competency with its subpoints as
