Job description

Kindergarten Readiness Teacher

As a Kindergarten Readiness Teacher at Child Development Schools, you will prepare children for a confident and successful transition to kindergarten by creating a classroom where curiosity, independence, and a love of learning thrive.

From early literacy and math experiences to science, creative exploration, and social development, you will provide high-quality instruction that helps every child reach their fullest potential.

You will serve as a trusted partner to families, a positive role model for children, and a leader within our teaching team who is committed to excellence in early childhood education. Your classroom will reflect the highest standards of learning, organization, professionalism, and school readiness.

  • Create a structured, organized classroom that encourages exploration, creativity, and confidence while meeting all licensing and ratio requirements.
  • Prepare children for kindergarten routines by teaching independence, responsibility, classroom expectations, and self-help skills.
  • Observe, assess, and document each child's developmental progress, using data to guide instruction and support individual learning goals.
  • Build strong partnerships with families through daily communication, progress updates, and scheduled conferences.
  • Maintain accurate documentation, including attendance, assessments, developmental records, and incident reports.
  • Collaborate with school leadership and fellow educators to continuously improve classroom quality and student outcomes.
