ElevatEd

Assistant Teacher Preschool / Toddler

Lexington, MA - Part Time

At Elevated, we believe in the power of education to build strong, connected communities. We partner with Jewish schools and early education centers to recruit, support, and elevate talented educators. While our roots are in the Jewish community, our schools welcome students, families, and teachers of all backgrounds. What unites us is a shared commitment to high-quality education, nurturing environments, and helping children thrive.

We are seeking a passionate and nurturing Assistant Teacher to join our network of schools. In this part-time role, you will support the Lead Teacher in creating a warm, engaging, and developmentally appropriate classroom for bright and curious preschoolers. You’ll help implement hands-on, play-based activities that foster curiosity, independence, and early social-emotional skills, while learning from experienced educators and gaining valuable skills that can lead to future growth opportunities.

This is a part-time position offering stability, collaboration, and the opportunity to grow into a lead teaching role while making a meaningful impact within a supportive early childhood education community.

Qualifications:
Candidates should have a love for working with young children and a desire to create joyful, engaging classroom experiences. Specific qualifications vary by role:

  • Assistant Teacher: High school diploma required; 1–2 years of experience working with young children preferred.
  • Teacher: Prior classroom teaching experience required; ECE certification is strongly preferred (and we will pay for certification if not already obtained).
Responsibilities:
  • Supporting the Lead Teacher in implementing developmentally appropriate, play-based curriculum.
  • Assisting with children’s social, emotional, and cognitive development through positive interactions and hands-on learning.
  • Helping to maintain a safe, organized, and inviting classroom space.
  • Partnering with families and fellow educators to build strong school-to-home connections.
  • Collaborating with the teaching team and learning from experienced educators to continue your professional growth.
If you are excited to help young children learn and grow while working in a diverse and supportive community, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today and take the next step in your teaching career!
