Job descriptionCambridge, in September 2026. During the 2026-27 school year, we will enroll students in Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten. During the 2027-28 year, we will expand to include Kindergarten. Over time, we will grow (one grade level per year) into a Preschool-Grade 8 school. The Croft School is considered by many families and teachers to represent an exciting new type of school that is ideal for those concerned about the area’s existing public school (inconsistent quality; large class sizes; driven by standardized test outcomes) and private school (elitism; non-affordability; limited diversity; lack of innovation) options. Cambridge will be built around the ethos of rigor, spark, heart, joy, and belonging. www.thecroftschool.org. About The Role The Croft School is seeking an exceptional Founding Lead Preschool (3-year-olds) teacher to lead and teach a Preschool classroom during the school’s founding year. All Croft teachers are empowered to design and deliver an outstanding student program in alignment with the school’s approaches to classroom climate, pedagogy, personalization, and assessment. Our early childhood program follows an emergent curriculum that puts students at the center. The program is play- and inquiry-based and includes developmentally appropriate literacy and math instruction. Students engage in frequent enrichment and Spanish courses, as well as weekly nature explorations or community trips. Further, we seek to provide our families with an exceptional experience built around convenience, community, communication, and partnership. The ideal candidate will be committed to building deep relationships with their students and using that knowledge to establish and lead a dynamic, child-centered classroom. The best candidates will be ready and excited to dedicate ample time and thoughtfulness to close communication and partnership with their students’ families. Further, given that The Croft School is committed to being a self-reflective, ever-improving anti-racist organization, the right candidate should be excited to contribute the school’s related efforts and practices. Qualifications and Qualities 3+ years of early childhood experience, ideally in an emergent or Reggio-inspired setting A contagious love for teaching, children, and nurturing students’ natural curiosity, instilling in them a lifelong passion for learning. Enthusiasm for designing and delivering creative, engaging lessons and theme-based projects. An entrepreneurial spirit coupled with an ambitious work ethic. Outstanding communication and collaboration skills, inclusive of empathy for others, thoughtful listening, team-orientation, and enthusiasm for collaborating with an Associate Teacher and other colleagues Ability to create a safe, joyous learning environment, inclusive of excellent classroom management strategies and skills. Ability to design and lead targeted, small-group instruction. Self-reflectiveness, humility, and an eagerness to continually improve one’s practice. A strong desire to remain in this role for 5+ years. A Bachelor’s Degree and current authorization to work in the United States is required. Compensation The Croft School offers compensation which is inspired by, and competitive with, other local independent and public school opportunities. The approximate compensation for this role will be $65,000 - $110,000, commensurate with experience. Powered by JazzHR
