Lead Primary Teacher (part time)

We are currently looking for a ​3 full day a week (part time) Early Childhood co-teacher for the 2026-2027 school year. 

Our environment is genuinely collaborative: six staff members, including our director, teach together daily. With four teachers at a time sharing one large, beautiful classroom and 30 children, the work here is dynamic, relational, and deeply intentional.
