Arts-Infused, Academically Inspired!At the Cape Symphony Preschool at our Barnstable campus, every day is an academic and artistic journey. Children discover the magical world of numbers, letters, books, and storytelling. They conduct science experiments, tune in to the weather, and learn about animal habits. When they’re not digging into nature projects, students are uncovering all the mysteries of their neighborhood and the big world beyond. To enhance these learning experiences, we weave music, dance, and visual arts into the fabric of every day. Children learn about great artists and composers. They sing, dance, play instruments, and create their own works of art.Join Cape Symphony Preschool and help to shape the future of music education on Cape Cod and contribute to a vibrant and thriving artistic community.Cape Symphony is seeking 2 individuals to fill the positions of Lead Teacher: one 5-day Lead Teacher and one 2-day Lead Teacher.Job Description:•Oversee the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the classroom program and child assessment (in collaboration with the Preschool Director) for a single classroom of children, to meet their physical, social, emotional, and intellectual needs, based on their individual development. •Operate the classroom in compliance with Massachusetts’s child care licensing standards. •Ensure the safety of children through constant supervision (by sight and sound), effective arrangement of space, proper maintenance of equipment, and regular practice of emergency drills and procedures. •Ensure that child care routines are carried out in a manner that is prompt, hygienic, and consistent with the Cape Symphony’s methods and mission, and adhering to research-based child development principles. •Create and maintain a tidy, pleasant, inviting atmosphere in which children feel comfortable and secure, and parents feel welcome and reassured. •Ensure that parents receive adequate information about children’s experiences and development at the Cape Symphony through daily verbal and written contact, and through regularly scheduled and documented parent conferences. •Provide positive guidance and responsive caregiving, tending to children when they express need. •Provide a variety of experiences that promote physical development, creative expression, language development, and relational development. •Maintain written records designed to evaluate each child, as well as the class as a whole. •Contribute to the Cape Symphony’s preschool culture and operations by participating fully in staff meetings, sharing information obtained through outside reading and training, and performing other duties as required. •Be an ambassador for Cape Symphony in the wider Cape community.
