New York, United States YM&YWHA of Washington Heights & Inwood Full time

The YM&YWHA of Washington Heights and Inwood seeks a visionary educator to become the

Director of Early Childhood Education who will build upon our high quality and success. The

Director will possess creativity, passion, and strong management skills to actively promote a

comfortable and nurturing environment where every child, teacher, and family is treated with

dignity and respect in a friendly, personalized manner. The Director is responsible for

programs that include the nursery school and New York City-funded pre-K.3, which adheres to

the city’s curriculum requirements and guidelines.

Our Early Childhood Programs provide developmentally appropriate opportunities for children

to socialize and learn together. Our primary objective is to foster each child's social, emotional,

physical, and cognitive growth. Our child-centered curriculum is built upon observing and

understanding each child’s skill and interest level and basing the curriculum on those

observations. We encourage curiosity and enthusiasm through exploration and discovery. Our

nurturing atmosphere allows for developing self-confidence, self-respect, and concern for

others. Additionally, through play, children learn the values of friendship, honesty, sharing

responsibility, and cooperation. We strive to prepare children with the knowledge and skills

necessary to enter their next stage of development and education with confidence and

enthusiasm for learning.

As part of our commitment to Jewish life, we infuse our program with the essence of Jewish

heritage. We embrace the diversity of traditions, stories, and celebrations, fostering a deep

connection to identity and culture. Through experiential learning, we aim to kindle a love for

Jewish values, history, and rituals that will accompany these young learners on their journey

forward.
