Preschool Teacher

JAM Early Education is a Reggio-inspired day school that embraces an emergent curriculum designed around child development principles. Our classrooms create a rich environment where children learn by exploring the world around them, empowering them to build their own knowledge and become independent thinkers. We tailor our planning to meet the individual interests, needs, and learning goals of every child we serve - from infants as young as six weeks to preschoolers preparing for kindergarten. Through careful observation, we gain insight into each child’s unique development. Our approach centers on providing principle-based learning experiences that spark curiosity and foster a lifelong love of learning.

We are looking for enthusiastic and caring Preschool Teachers to join our Early Education team. In this role, you will create a welcoming and inclusive classroom environment that encourages exploration and learning for children aged 3-5 years. Responsibilities include fostering social and emotional development through play-based activities, promoting a positive classroom environment, and collaborating with families to support each child's success. Ideal candidates have a background in early childhood education and a passion for inspiring young learners.

Our standard operating hours are 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with JAMEE Aftercare available from 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM to support working families by providing quality early education beyond the school day. We recognize and value the commitment of our teachers who are advancing their education, so we accommodate school schedules and offer additional support for eligible student candidates through the TEACH scholarship program.

All JAMEE teachers engage in a minimum of 2.5 hours of professional development each month, including Bloom training, individualized coaching, book studies, and more. We provide comprehensive on-site training, beginning with a two-week classroom training and shadowing period alongside the lead teacher, combining observation and hands-on experience. New teachers meet regularly with our Pedagogista to reflect on principles and receive ongoing support for their professional growth. We believe learning is a lifelong journey - not just for our students, but for our teachers as well. We meet everyone where they are in their development. Our organization is committed to fostering a collaborative and supportive environment throughout the entire facility - when we say “JAM family,” we truly mean it!

Why our teachers love working at JAM:

”I love the relationships I have built with students, parents, and coworkers! I also love getting to see students do something for the first time or show excitement over new work.”
“JAMEE has impacted my life in many ways. Because of JAMEE and the supportive staff I know teaching is my life calling and passion.”
“The relationships with coworkers and families has exceeded my expectations at JAMEE along with the friendliness and helpfulness of everyone at JAM. When I first started, I thought it would be like a daycare and I was just an assistant, I was wrong in all the best ways possible!”
"There is no 'one size fits all'; learning is individualized for both children and teachers."
