The Role -
Bilingual Lead Teacher
You're the heartbeat of the classroom. You'll design engaging days using our P.L.A.N. curriculum — woven with English-Spanish programming — build real relationships with your students, and set the tone for a safe, joyful, well-run room where kids grow up bilingual from day one.
What you'll do:
- Plan and lead daily activities using our P.L.A.N. curriculum, incorporating English-Spanish instruction
- 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 — in English and Spanish
You'll bring:
- Fluency in English and Spanish
- 3–5 years of relevant classroom experience
- A bachelor's degree is required (preferably in the field of education). You may also need an MSDE 90hr Preschool Certificate or CDA Certification with Preschool Endorsement (minimum)
- Solid grasp of child development principles and instructional strategies
- Working knowledge of MSDE regulations
- A warm, friendly, unflappable demeanor is a must
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Reliability you could set a clock to
