Pre-K General Education Co-Teacher

The Pre-K General Education Co-Teacher will work in a supportive UPK classroom with a clear curriculum structure and strong district alignment. The role involves teaching four-year-olds at a pivotal developmental stage, where growth in early literacy, social-emotional skills, and independence is rapid and rewarding. The co-teacher will work closely with a team, including a co-teacher, paraprofessionals, and related service providers, to provide high-quality early learning and strong community impact.

What You Will Do

The co-teacher will implement the Creative Curriculum, Foundations, and Heggerty with fidelity, and participate in all required district training. They will plan and deliver developmentally appropriate, inclusive instruction aligned with NYS Early Learning Standards, and support early literacy, numeracy, language development, and social-emotional learning through play-based, child-centered instruction.

Why It Might Be a Fit

The co-teacher will benefit from a rare employer-paid childcare option, easing one of the biggest challenges for working parents. They will also receive ongoing professional development in early childhood education, inclusive practices, and multilingual learner support, and join a mission-driven organization committed to high-quality early learning and strong community impact.
