PreK Weekday Preschool Teacher

Preschool teachers are expected to contribute to the Preschool’s overall mission by being committed to nurturing the whole child socially, emotionally, intellectually, physically, and spiritually (heart, mind, body, and soul). A developmentally appropriate learning curriculum will be provided, including large and small muscle activities, kindergarten readiness, science, art, language, music, literature and Bible concepts/stories. We will continually strive to remain current in early childhood methods. We believe God is not just a part of our lives, but actively involved in all aspects of our lives. Prayer, Bible stories and activities will be integrated daily. Christian teachers will promote a warm caring atmosphere, full of active fun and creativity as children learn not only their ABC’s and 123’s but also how to help, care for, and respect others. Teacher’s daily hours are 8:30am-1:30pm.
