Co-Lead 3’s Teacher:
Sherith Israel Preschool is looking for a compassionate and empathetic teacher who loves being outdoors and can facilitate and manage a group of 5-6 three year olds. We walk to Lafayette Park every day for nature exploration, lunch, and playground time. We are looking for someone who is communicative, a team player with an energetic “all hands on deck” attitude who can jump in to support other teachers and collaborate on curriculum and daily activities. We are a growing school with 20 families registered for the 24/25 school year. We incorporate the traditions of Judaism but focus on teaching children to be stewards of our city and to the Earth. We base our curriculum off of the Lunar Calendar and focus on the Moon and how it relates to taking care of the Earth and Jewish holidays. We are nature-based, play-based, and Reggio-Emilia inspired.
