Full Job Description

Overview

About Us:

At Little Miracles Early Development Center, we don’t just watch children; we inspire them to discover who they are and what they can achieve. We are an elite, Step Up To Quality (SUTQ) Gold-Rated Program partnering with premier local initiatives like Early Start Columbus and Future Ready Five. We believe that children learn best through active, play-based exploration, intentional guidance, and structured freedom. If you are a passionate educator dedicated to elevating the standard of early childhood education and preparing preschoolers to thrive in kindergarten, we want you on our team.

Job Summary:

We are seeking a high-energy, dedicated Lead Head Start / Pre-K Teacher to manage our preschool classroom (ages 3–5). In this role, you will be the captain of your classroom ecosystem—designing a safe, stimulating, and print-rich environment where child biology and natural brain wiring are honored. You will implement process-focused creative learning, observe child progress systematically, and build responsive, cooperative relationships with our families.

Key Responsibilities:

Intentional Instruction: Plan and execute high-quality, play-based lesson plans aligned with Ohio Early Learning and Development Standards (ELDS) to foster cognitive, physical, language, and social-emotional growth.
Classroom Management: Maintain a highly organized, safe, clean, and dynamic learning environment that rejects restrictive care and instead encourages active physical exploration.
Child Observations & Assessments: Conduct regular, objective child observations (anecdotal logs, matrix tracking) to monitor developmental milestones, customize individual learning tracks, and establish clear next steps.
Family Partnerships: Establish positive, responsive, and open communication with parents and guardians; conduct parent-teacher conferences to share developmental wins and milestones.
Compliance & Excellence: Maintain flawless classroom records, health logs, and attendance tracking in accordance with ODJFS licensing and SUTQ Gold Award frameworks.

Qualifications & Skills:

Education: Associate or Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education (ECE), Child Development, or a related field preferred; OR a current, valid Child Development Associate (CDA) credential with significant classroom experience.
Experience: Minimum of 1–2 years of experience leading a classroom in a licensed childcare facility (Head Start, ECE Grant, or highly-rated SUTQ center experience is a major plus).
Skills: Strong understanding of child development, process-focused art, behavioral scaffolding, and positive guidance techniques.
Requirements: Must pass a comprehensive background check (BCI/FBI fingerprinting), a physical medical exam, and hold (or be willing to obtain) CPR, First Aid, and Common Childhood Illness certifications.

Benefits & Perks:

Holiday pay
Professional development assistance and tuition reimbursement support (including CDA renewal pathway assistance)
Clear career advancement tracks within a growing organization
A supportive, championship-minded team culture where your monthly wins are actively celebrated!

Schedule:

8-hour shift
Monday to Friday (No weekends!)

Ability to Commute/Relocate:

Columbus, OH 43232: Reliably commute or planning to relocate before starting work (Required)

Pay: $17.50 - $20.00 per hour

Benefits:

401(k)
Dental insurance
Life insurance
Paid time off
Professional development assistance
Vision insurance

Application Question(s):

Do you currently hold an active CDA credential or an ECE degree
