Full Job Description

Head Teacher (PreK 3 & PreK 4) – Jersey City

three little birds is seeking an experienced, confident Head Teacher to lead one of our PreK classrooms in our Reggio-inspired, play-based early childhood program.

We are located in a beautiful, newly designed space in the Bergen-Lafayette neighborhood of Jersey City, just blocks from Liberty State Park. As our school continues to grow, we are building a team of educators who are not only nurturing and creative, but strong classroom leaders who take pride in their work.

This is not a traditional daycare role.
We are a professional early childhood program with high standards for our classrooms, team, and overall experience for children and families.

About the Role

Head Teachers at three little birds lead their classrooms with confidence, maintain strong systems and routines, and create a consistent, high-quality experience for children and families.

This role is ideal for an educator who has experience independently leading a classroom, is confident managing a team, and is excited to grow within a collaborative, high-standard environment.

What You’ll Do

Lead and manage all aspects of your classroom, including daily flow, transitions, and overall organization
Design and implement engaging, play-based curriculum and monthly pedagogical plans
Create meaningful, hands-on learning experiences through workshops, provocations, and project-based work
Guide and support assistant teachers, setting clear expectations and maintaining a positive, professional team dynamic
Maintain a clean, organized, and thoughtfully prepared classroom environment
Lead circle time, small group work, and project-based learning experiences
Ensure all licensing, health, and safety standards are consistently met
Collaborate with leadership to maintain consistency and quality across classrooms
Participate in ongoing reflection, feedback, and professional growth

Child Development, Observation & Family Partnership

Observe and document children’s learning through daily interactions, using these insights to design responsive, meaningful curriculum experiences rooted in children’s interests
Maintain ongoing, reflective assessment of each child’s social, emotional, and academic development
Support the development of the whole child—nurturing independence, confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning
Lead parent-teacher conferences with clarity and care, sharing thoughtful, meaningful insights into each child’s growth
Build strong, trusting relationships with families through consistent communication, fostering a true partnership between home and school

Who This Role Is For

This role is for educators who:

Take pride in leading a classroom and setting a high standard
Are confident managing a team and guiding assistant teachers
Thrive in structured, well-run environments
Are open to feedback and committed to continuous growth
Want to be part of a collaborative, high-quality program

Who This Role Is Not For

This role is not the right fit for candidates who:

Are looking for an assistant or flexible support role only
Prefer to follow direction rather than lead a classroom
Are not comfortable with feedback, structure, or accountability

Qualifications

2–3+ years of experience leading a classroom independently in a licensed childcare center
Experience with PreK 3 or PreK 4 strongly preferred
CDA, Associate’s, or Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education (or related field)
Strong classroom management, organization, and communication skills

Compensation

$55,000 – $60,000 annually, based on experience
Opportunities for growth within a rapidly expanding program

Our Philosophy

At three little birds, children learn, play, and grow through a play-based curriculum filled with creative exploration, movement, art, and meaningful experiences—where children thrive and explore with joy.

Our classrooms are rooted in a Reggio-inspired approach, where children are seen as capable, curious learners and teachers act as thoughtful guides.

We are building a team of educators who care deeply about their work, their classrooms, and the impact they have on children and families.

Apply if you are ready to:

✔ Lead a classroom with confidence and intention
✔ Be part of a structured, high-standard environment
✔ Grow as an educator within a supportive, collaborative team

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: $55,000.00 - $60,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Employee discount
Health insurance
Paid time off

People with a criminal record are encouraged to apply

Education:

Bachelor's (Required)

Experience:

head teacher : 2 years (Required)

Work Location: In person
