Early Childhood Educator

Join One of Greater Boston’s Most Vibrant Early Childhood Programs!

At Temple Shalom Nursery School, we are a nature-rich, play-based preschool grounded in joy, partnership, and growth—for both children and educators. Our days are filled with exploration, meaningful relationships, and deep respect for childhood. We believe children learn best through play, teachers thrive in collaborative environments, and strong communities are built on shared purpose and care.

We are seeking educators who

• Genuinely enjoy children and delight in their questions, ideas, and growing independence
• Respect play as the essential work of childhood
• Understand child development and use that knowledge to guide thoughtful, responsive practice
• Are organized, responsible, and reliable
• Value collaboration and enjoy contributing to a supportive, reflective team
• Bring warmth, joy, and steady positive energy into the classroom
• Have education or experience in Early Childhood Education or a related field
• Appreciate Jewish traditions and values (experience welcomed; curiosity encouraged)

• Why You’ll Love Working Here
• Join a team that truly collaborates, reflects, and supports one another
• Work in a place filled with laughter, purpose, and meaningful relationships
• Teach in a nature-connected environment where learning happens under trees as often as at tables
• Benefit from opportunities for professional growth, reflection, and development
• Be part of a community grounded in Jewish values of respect, kindness, and joy

This is more than a teaching position—it is an opportunity to join a joyful learning community that honors children, values educators, and believes deeply in the power of play.

If you are ready to work thoughtfully, laugh often, and make a meaningful difference in the lives of young children, we look forward to meeting you.
