The Goddard School of South Loop – Chicago, IL
Full-Time | Lead Teacher(s)

Do you love working with young children, take pride in your classroom, and want to work at a school where great teachers are valued and supported?

The Goddard School of South Loop is looking for experienced and passionate Lead Teachers for our Toddler and Early Preschool classrooms. We believe children thrive when they are surrounded by teachers who are nurturing, dependable, engaged and genuinely excited to help them grow. We also believe great teachers deserve a workplace that invests in them. Our goal is to build a team of educators who don't simply supervise children—we want teachers who build relationships, create meaningful learning experiences, take ownership of their classrooms, support their teammates, and continue growing professionally.

What You'll Do

As a Lead Teacher, you will take an active leadership role in your classroom and help create a safe, loving and engaging environment for children.

You will:

Build warm, trusting relationships with children and families
Provide attentive, active supervision throughout the day
Plan and implement engaging, developmentally appropriate learning experiences
Create a classroom environment where children can explore, learn and develop independence
Observe children's development and individual needs
Maintain regular classroom documentation and family communication
Establish consistent classroom routines and positive guidance practices
Keep your classroom organized, welcoming and prepared for learning
Work collaboratively with supporting teachers and provide classroom leadership and direction
Participate in school events, professional development and team initiatives

The Teacher We're Looking For

We're especially interested in educators who:

Genuinely enjoy spending their day with young children
Are warm, patient and nurturing
Understand that active supervision and children's safety come first
Take ownership of their classroom rather than waiting to be told what needs to be done
Are dependable and understand how much their attendance matters to children and their teammates
Communicate professionally with families, coworkers and leadership
Are comfortable receiving feedback and interested in continuing to grow
Work well as part of a team
Bring positive energy and solutions when challenges arise

You do not need to know everything on Day One. We value teachers who are willing to learn, receptive to coaching and committed to becoming stronger educators.

What You Can Expect From Us

We know that taking care of children begins with taking care of the people who teach them.

At The Goddard School of South Loop, we strive to create an environment where teachers feel supported, appreciated and able to grow.

Depending on eligibility and position, our team members may receive:

Competitive compensation based on education and experience
Paid time off
Paid holidays
Health and other eligible benefits
401(k) benefits
Childcare benefits/discounts
Professional development and training opportunities
Support with continuing education and credential advancement
Opportunities for increased responsibility and career growth
Classroom resources and curriculum support
Regular appreciation and recognition throughout the year
An accessible leadership team that is actively involved in the school

We believe good work should be noticed. We regularly recognize team members who demonstrate exceptional commitment, teamwork, professional growth and care for our children and families.

A School Where Teachers Can Grow

Our leadership team believes in coaching, not simply correcting. We understand that early childhood education can be demanding. When something isn't working, our goal is to identify the challenge, provide resources and support, and help our teachers become successful. At the same time, because families entrust us with their children every day, we hold ourselves to high standards for safety, professionalism, reliability and accountability.

If you are looking for a school where you can simply \"watch kids,\" this probably isn't the right position.

But if you want to be part of a school where your work matters, where you can develop as an educator, and where strong teachers are genuinely valued, we would love to meet you.

Qualifications

Ideal candidates will have:

Experience working with toddlers and/or preschool-age children
Early Childhood Education coursework, degree, CDA or equivalent qualifications preferred
Ability to meet Illinois DCFS Lead Teacher requirements for the assigned classroom
Strong communication and teamwork skills
Ability to meet the physical requirements of an early childhood classroom

Experienced Assistant Teachers who meet Lead Teacher qualifications and are ready to take the next step in their career are also encouraged to apply.

Join Our Goddard Village

The relationships our teachers build with children can last for years. Many of our families begin with us during infancy and remain through Pre-K, giving our educators the opportunity to watch children grow from babies into confident kindergarteners.

We take that responsibility—and that privilege—seriously.

If you're an educator who wants to make an impact, continue growing, and be part of a supportive school community, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today and tell us a little about what you love most about working with young children.

Each Goddard School location is privately owned and operated by Goddard Franchisor LLC franchisees. The Goddard School franchise owner(s) are the employers at each school, and the franchise owner(s) set their own wage and benefit programs, which vary by location.
