Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States Greenhills School Full time


Position Summary

Greenhills School, an independent day school seeks a warm, resourceful, and highly organized Preschool Associate Teacher to provide daily care and support for children ages 3 and 4 at our Lower School (currently called our Summers-Knoll campus) which will soon serve approximately 100 students and continue to grow over the coming years. 

The Preschool Associate Teacher is an immediate opening for a full time position for the school year. The Preschool Associate Teacher will offer support and supervision of students in a wide array of capacities, including small group or 1:1 instruction per a lead teacher's direction and relevant lesson plan, as needed. The Associate Teacher may be the primary substitute teacher in the Preschool for a day or several days. In all cases, students will need to rely on the Associate Teacher's compassion, patience and generosity of spirit. 

The ideal candidate will be an early career teacher who wants to gain valuable classroom experience while supporting and assisting the lead teacher. Prior training as an early childhood educator is strongly preferred; however, we also welcome candidates with relevant child-facing experience and the willingness to learn.

Greenhills School at the Summers Knoll Campus is seeking a diverse mix of talented people who want to join us as student centered educators and role models. We bring joy and good humor to our classrooms, fields, and offices. We work collaboratively as colleagues. We seek and respond to student feedback, and commit to reflective practice and continual growth. We offer an outstanding working environment, excellent benefits, and a joyful, diverse school community.
