Pecan Street Christian School is a ministry of Pflugerville First United Methodist Church. We are a Christian school whose goal is to provide children a safe, nurturing, play-based educational environment that is developmentally appropriate and instills a love of learning. We desire to build positive first impressions toward God, Jesus, the Bible, and church. We utilize a Bible based curriculum that allows children to explore, create, learn, and understand through hands-on activities. Language development, early science and math concepts, and pre-reading skills are learned in an environment rich in discovery opportunities. Pecan Street Christian School is a place where laughter and play are cherished and where learning is fun.
We are seeking 3 Christian lead teachers to teach the following age groups: Toddlers, 3-4 year olds or Pre-Kindergarten in the upcoming 2024-25 school year and beyond. These individuals would need to be able to provide a warm, nurturing, safe and loving environment where self concepts are enhanced, independence is encouraged and individuality is respected.
