Assistant preschool teacher position overview
Our assistant preschool teachers work side-by-side with lead teachers and center directors to bring the learning plan and learning environment to life. Assistant teachers are important leaders in supporting the classroom – everything from learning tools to chairs and tables, and everything in between – parent communications, child progress assessments and observation, and everything else that wraps around the child’s day in our early learning centers.

What we need from you:
We’ve built the beautiful, home-like classrooms. We need assistant teachers who help keep the environment clean, safe, and stimulating, using the Constructivist Theory (we’re happy to help you learn more about this if you join our classroom).

This might be a given, but our teachers should have a positive nature and be flexible, and know that we work best as a team. We lean into social emotional learning and child-lead play, using positive redirection.
You’re as committed to equity, diversity, and inclusivity as we are. You show respect for every child, the people in their lives, and for your team members.
You’re also able to keep confidential information about the program, families, children, staff and the agency.
What we can do for you:
We have structured career growth plans, in-house coaching, paid professional development, and access to free and reduced college tuition.
We want you to be successful in your classroom, so we will help guide you to required training and educational credentials as needed.
Learning Grove is known for having the highest quality centers as rated by Ohio and Kentucky’s rating systems. We’ll help you make sure your classroom and work stays aligned with our standards- we just need you to help put it into play!
