St. Timothy's Preschool · $22–$25/hr · $500 New Hire Bonus · Full-Time & Sub Opportunities

Make Learning Feel Like Play

Just about everything can become a learning experience. A story can spark an entire imaginary world. A walk outside can turn into a science lesson. Blocks become cities, paint becomes an experiment, and a simple question can lead somewhere completely unexpected. As their teacher, you'll get to follow that curiosity and help it grow.

Responsibilities

• Create a warm, engaging classroom where children feel safe, confident, and excited to learn
• Plan hands-on activities built around the interests and developmental needs of your class
• Bring learning to life through art, music, stories, movement, sensory experiences, and outdoor play
• Help children strengthen language, early learning, motor, and problem-solving skills
• Encourage independence and give children opportunities to try, explore, and figure things out
• Help children build friendships, communicate their needs, and navigate the social side of preschool
• Get to know each child and celebrate the progress that makes them uniquely them
• Build positive relationships with families and keep them connected to their child's growth
