The ideal candidate is someone who may have a background in education, preschool, childcare, or classroom teaching and is looking for a part-time role that allows them to stay connected to children, learning, and creativity without the commitment of a full-time schedule.

At Creative Beginnings Preschool, we believe children learn best through a balance of structure and creative play. Our program incorporates early academic skills, social-emotional development, music, movement, visual art, and hands-on discovery to help children build confidence and prepare for kindergarten.

We are looking for someone who is fun, positive, dependable, organized, and excited to help young children grow.

Responsibilities

Lead a preschool classroom of children ages 3–4 with confidence, warmth, and structure.
Create and implement engaging lesson plans based on a provided scope and sequence.
Plan activities that support kindergarten readiness, including early literacy, math, fine motor skills, social-emotional development, and independence.
Incorporate music, rhythm, movement, visual art, creative play, and hands-on learning into the daily classroom experience.
Use developmentally appropriate teaching strategies that support a variety of learning styles.
Maintain a positive classroom environment where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn.
Guide children through routines, transitions, group activities, centers, and classroom expectations.
Use positive behavior guidance and clear, consistent classroom management strategies.
Communicate professionally with families, staff, and administration.
Track student growth, participation, and developmental progress as needed.
Help maintain a clean, organized, welcoming classroom environment.
Support the mission and values of Creative Beginnings Preschool.

Has experience leading a classroom or group of young children.
Understands preschool-aged children and enjoys this stage of development.
Believes children respond best to positive, encouraging, and consistent guidance.
Loves structure, routines, and clear expectations.
Also values creativity, imagination, movement, music, and play.
Believes the arts have a positive impact on children’s learning and development.
Is comfortable with basic singing, rhythm activities, movement, and visual art.
Is fun, energetic, and outgoing while still able to maintain classroom control.
Can take a basic curriculum outline and turn it into meaningful, engaging lessons.
Is dependable, professional, and able to work independently.
May be a retired or semi-retired educator, former teacher, preschool teacher, childcare provider, or someone with strong classroom experience who is looking for a meaningful part-time role.

Requirements

Experience LEADING preschool-aged children in a classroom, childcare, school, or similar group setting.
Strong classroom management skills.
Ability to lead a group of children through structured activities and transitions.
Understanding of child development and age-appropriate expectations.
Ability to plan and implement engaging lessons aligned with preschool learning goals.
Comfort incorporating music, movement, art, and creative play into the classroom.
Strong communication skills with children, families, and coworkers.
Dependability, patience, flexibility, and a positive attitude.
Must meet all childcare licensing requirements.
