Enrichment Teacher

Role: Enrichment Teacher

Location: Brooklyn: 206 4th Ave. Brooklyn, NY 11217

Salary Range: $20/hour

Schedule: 1:30pm-6pm Mon-Fri

About us:

New York Preschool is more than just a neighborhood preschool. It’s a year-round early childhood education program built for NYC families with children ages one to five. Every school shares one philosophy across three core programs: NY Preschool, Afternoon Club, and Camp Kids Club. We put the child first, give working parents the flexibility they need, and treat New York City as an extension of the classroom. This is how we prepare city kids and families to thrive at the next level.

With 12 campuses across Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens, and over 20 years of serving the NYC community, families get the depth and support of an established network, delivered with the warmth of a neighborhood school tuned to the block it serves.

About the Role

We are seeking a high-energy Enrichment Teacher to provide New York City’s 2 to 6-year-olds with a foundation for lifelong learning through our incredible enrichment classes. In this "jack of all trades" role, you are part athlete, part scientist, and part performer- transitioning seamlessly from spotting a budding gymnast on the bars, to leading a "mad science" experiment, or coaching a parent and toddler through their very first steps. As a natural storyteller with a flair for the dramatic and a heart for early childhood development, you will turn every lesson into a core memory, ensuring our youngest learners feel confident, inspired, and excited to explore the world around them.

What You’ll Do

• The Enrichment Chameleon: Lead and co-lead a dynamic range of classes for children ages 0 to 6. You seamlessly pivot between our diverse classes and age groups to keep every lesson fresh and every class special.
• The Developmental Architect: Use structured and unstructured play, art, music, gymnastics, and STEM to build a child’s confidence and coordination. You’ll curate a "safe to fail" environment where a shaky first step or a messy art project is celebrated as a vital leap in their lifelong learning journey.
• The Proactive Problem Solver: Master the art of the transition and the "behind-the-scenes" flow. Whether it’s resetting a gym circuit, organizing a classroom, or jumping in to assist a teammate, you tackle daily operations with a "ready-for-anything" attitude.
• The Family Partner: Build trust with parents and caregivers through daily updates, sharing the successes and challenges of their child’s day, and building a bridge between school and home.
