PreK Teachers - MoCo!

About the role

Georgetown Hill Early School is a local non‑profit preschool with a big mission: bring teachers, children, and families together to create an early childhood experience that's second to none. We've been doing this in Maryland since 1980, so we know a thing or two about what makes a classroom feel like home.

We take care of the people who take care of our kids. Expect a positive, team‑first environment where your voice actually gets heard, your growth is genuinely encouraged, and your impact doesn't go unnoticed.

Responsibilities

• Lead Teachers: plan and lead daily activities using our P.L.A.N. curriculum, tailored to Twos or PreK age groups; build strong, trusting bonds with students and their families; own classroom management — creating a consistent, positive environment for kids and staff alike; support each child's physical, social‑emotional, and developmental growth; communicate clearly and warmly with families, colleagues, and your community.
• Assistant Teachers: support the Lead Teacher in bringing our P.L.A.N. curriculum to life; help build a safe, nurturing space where kids feel secure and loved; jump in wherever needed — floating between classrooms as our thriving school needs; support each child's day‑to‑day needs with patience and care; bring positive energy to your team, your students, and their families.
