A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A HEAD START TEACHER

As a Head Start Teacher, you provide a safe and healthy preschool learning environment that is welcoming to children and their parents. Every shift, you come to class energized and ready to take on the day. You conduct classroom planning sessions to develop both individual and weekly lesson plans. You submit those lesson plans for review in accordance with the established procedures. In cooperation with the child's guardian and the center team, you identify the strengths, needs, and interests of each child to develop individual educational plans.

You provide an educational environment and implement a curriculum that encourages the development of self-awareness, autonomy, and self-expression. At mealtimes, you participate with the children and use it as a teaching opportunity to model appropriate social manners. You plan for transitions so that they occur in a predictable and unrushed manner that helps the children feel safe. As needed, you attend parent meetings to familiarize parents with Head Start and its operations. You feel great about providing children with quality education and fostering their development

  • Active enrollment in a bachelor's degree program in early childhood
  • 1 year or more of experience working with young children in a preschool setting
  • Valid NY driver's license and reliable personal transportation
  • Current CPR and first aid certification or the willingness to complete training at the first opportunity
  • Ability to lift and carry a 50-pound child

A bachelor's degree in early childhood education or equivalent coursework is preferred. Two or more years of experience teaching preschool-aged children would be a plus. Can you work well with staff and parents as part of a team? Are you patient and friendly? Do you have excellent classroom management skills? If yes, you might just be perfect for this preschool position
