Lititz Christian School is seeking a Full-Time Pre-Kindergarten Teacher to join our team. This individual will create a nurturing, engaging, and Christ-centered learning environment where young children develop foundational skills in early literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional growth.

This position follows the K–12 academic calendar and is designed as a school-readiness program (not a childcare program). Instruction will be developmentally appropriate, hands-on, and aligned with the Pennsylvania Department of Education Early Learning Standards for Pre-K. A strong emphasis is placed on fostering a positive classroom culture rooted in a biblical worldview and supporting the whole child, academically, socially, and spiritually.

Roles And Responsibilities

• Develop and implement developmentally appropriate, play-based, and biblically- integrated learning experiences that support growth in early literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional development.
• Foster pre-literacy skills, including phonological awareness, vocabulary development, listening comprehension, and print awareness.
• Support emergent writing through fine motor development, drawing, tracing, and name recognition.
• Build early numeracy skills, including counting, number sense, patterns, sorting, and shape recognition.
• Facilitate learning through hands-on exploration, guided play, learning centers, and small-group instruction, rather than primarily whole-group instruction.
• Create a warm, safe, structured classroom environment that promotes curiosity, independence, cooperation, and a love of learning.
• Support students in developing social-emotional and self-regulation skills, including sharing, transitions, and classroom routines.
• Use observation-based assessment and developmental tools to monitor student progress and inform instruction.
• Maintain ongoing, clear communication with parents regarding their child’s developmental growth and school readiness.
• Collaborate with kindergarten teacher, assistants, and faculty to ensure alignment and continuity into kindergarten readiness expectations.
• Integrate biblical principles throughout instruction and model Christ-like behavior in all interactions.
  
  
  

QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience working with children ages 3–5 in a classroom setting, preferably in a Christian school environment.
• Understanding of early childhood development and developmentally appropriate practices.
• Familiarity with or willingness to align instruction with Pennsylvania Early Learning Standards.
• A passion for Christian education and a strong commitment to integrating faith and learning.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build positive relationships with students, families, and colleagues.
