Preschool Assistant Teacher Wanted — Come Grow With MI School!

Do you love curious little minds, silly questions, messy art, big imaginations, and those wonderful “I did it!” moments?

MI School in Riverside, RI is looking for a full-time Preschool Assistant Teacher to join our warm, creative, and supportive team.

We are a bilingual English–Mandarin early learning center serving children from infancy through preschool. Our Preschool classroom is full of curious learners who love to explore, build, create, ask questions, and discover how the world works.

At MI School, learning might look like building a robot one day, measuring with math cubes the next, creating recycled art, learning Mandarin songs, experimenting with science, or programming a BeeBot across the classroom floor. We believe preschool should be joyful, meaningful, and full of discovery.

What you’ll do:

• Work alongside our Preschool Lead Teacher to create a safe, loving, and engaging classroom
• Support daily learning activities, routines, meals, transitions, and outdoor play
• Help children develop social-emotional, language, math, early literacy, and STEAM skills
• Participate in art, music, science, movement, and hands-on projects
• Build warm relationships with children and families
• Bring your own creativity, interests, and personality to the classroom

We would love to meet you if you:

• Genuinely enjoy working with preschool-age children
• Are patient, dependable, caring, and energetic
• Work well as part of a team
• Are willing to learn and grow as an early childhood educator
• Have childcare or preschool experience — preferred, but strong candidates who are eager to learn are welcome
• Have Early Childhood Education coursework or training — a plus

Why MI School?

You’ll be joining a small school where teachers know each other, families know each other, and good ideas are welcomed. We value teachers who want to do more than simply supervise children—we want educators who enjoy helping children wonder, explore, create, and grow.
