2024-25 School Year (August through May)
Class size 16 children; 1:8 teacher:child ratio
Pembroke Hill School seeks a caring, growth-minded educator to join its early childhood team as a lead teacher. In partnership with a faculty assistant, the lead teacher builds community and encourages children to play, investigate, problem-solve, and construct new understandings in a welcoming, joyful environment. Lead teachers plan for and support children’s growth and development by observing, evaluating, and knowing children well and leading learning experiences and project work that build on student interests, motivations, and wonderings.
Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education, our faculty and staff believe in an image of the child as capable, curious, and eager to learn and make sense of the world. Lead Teachers serve as positive role models and guides for children, facilitate healthy and productive relationships, and implement student-centered curriculum and classroom routines. They make the process of learning visible through a variety of documentation techniques. Lead teachers engage families in meaningful ways, such as project work, guest experts, readers, and partners in children’s learning journey.
Job Requirements:
Pembroke Hill seeks to fulfill our mission by recognizing that diversity, belonging, equity and inclusion are integral elements of school and community life. Our mission-inspired goal is together, cultivating each to be a global thinker and valuable member of the PHS community poised to acquire the academic and life skills that make a significant difference for all.
Benefits and Schedule:
The lead teacher position is based on the school year (August through May). During the school year, there are two 2-week breaks (December and March), one week at Thanksgiving, plus holidays, personal and sick bank days. There is a full range of excellent benefits, including health, dental, retirement match (up to 8%), professional development, PHS tuition remission, free lunch, and more!
