Role OverviewThe Goddard School of Newark is building something intentional, grounded in the Reggio Emilia educational philosophy, where children learn through relationships, meaningful experiences, and thoughtfully prepared environments. Our classrooms support the whole child—socially, emotionally, cognitively, and physically—and our teachers are respected as professionals who make that possible.
What You Will Do
Create and lead a safe, nurturing, and engaging classroom, plan and implement developmentally appropriate curriculum, observe children and guide learning through their interests, build strong relationships with children and families, collaborate closely with your Assistant Teacher and team, support children’s social-emotional development, communicate consistently with families, and contribute to a positive, professional school culture.
Why It Might Be a Fit
Educators who believe early childhood education is meaningful, skilled work, teachers who value relationships as the foundation of learning, individuals who are reflective, coachable, and growth-oriented, team players who enjoy collaboration and shared responsibility, and professionals who take pride in their work.
