GCS, a non-sectarian preschool in Brooklyn Heights, has an opening for full-time Associate Teachers in our Twos, Threes and PreKindergarten programs for the 2019-2020 school year.  Grace Church School has approximately 160 children from toddlers to five-year-olds. We are a learning community that adheres to a developmental approach and our classrooms provide a variety of sensory, hands-on, child-centered activities. 

The foundation of our practice begins with the philosophy that children are more apt to ask questions and approach challenges in a classroom where they feel safe and nurtured. The teachers at GCS are deeply committed to ensuring that every child feels respected and valued, with the understanding that a child’s first school experience can set the stage for a love of learning that continues beyond preschool.

Encouraging parent participation and building a bridge between home and school is essential to our program’s goals. Supporting strong teacher-parent relationships enhances and extends our understanding of the children in our program.

Mentored by a Head Teacher, Associate Teachers participate in all aspects of classroom life. This is an ideal position for a graduate student, recent graduate or career-changer.
