Head Coach, Enrichment (Preschool)

You're already the person other teachers come to. You've run the room, taken ownership of a program, and shown a newer teacher how it's done. Come do that at a Team Lead at NY Preschool and Kids Club.

We're hiring a Head Coach to lead our enrichment program for children ages 2 to 6 (music, art, dance, drama, and gym), run our Afternoon Club after-school program, and lead our Department of Education gym classes for preschool. It's a player-coach role: you'll teach about 25 to 30 hours a week and spend the rest coaching the team, modeling great instruction, and getting new hires up to speed.

You'll thrive here if:

• You lead by doing, and can teach a class so well that watching you is the training.
• You've coached or mentored other teachers, whether it was official or just because you model best practices.
• You have depth across enrichment (music, art, dance, drama, or gym) and are comfortable leading an active gym and movement class.
• You're confident with parents and comfortable being the most animated person in the room.

As part of the interviewing process, you'll teach a short lesson to a small group of children, then demonstrate coaching our team through how you'd teach it, as if they are new hires. If that sounds fun rather than scary, you're our person.

More details: The schedule is Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:30pm, at our Dumbo location. Pay is $25 to $32/hr based on ECE credentials. The role earns at $25/hr and increases with ECE degree enrollment, a BA or MA in ECE, and/or certification. You don't need an ECE degree or certification to start, and if you're selected, you would complete a background check, fingerprinting, and references. Full benefits, PTO, 401(k), tuition assistance, plus commuter and fitness perks.
