Preschool Teachers

The Roles ...

Lead TeachersYou’re the heartbeat of the classroom. You’ll design engaging days using our P.L.A.N. curriculum, build real relationships with your students, and set the tone for a safe, joyful, well-run room, whether you’re guiding sweet babies, curious Twos through their first big discoveries, or getting PreK students ready for kindergarten. You’ll also help set the standard for what a Georgetown Hill classroom looks like in Woodley Gardens.

• Plan and lead daily activities using our P.L.A.N. curriculum, tailored to the age groups
