Overview
Calling inspired preschool teachers! If you are looking for a relationship-based school that is committed to building your effectiveness in early childhood ministry, we invite you to join our faculty at Amazing Grace Christian Preschool!
This is an on-site job in Pensacola, Florida US.
We understand that our teachers are a vital influence on our community’s families, so we nurture our team to equip them to teach at their best. Our Christian-based center provides a quality landscape for a joyful, family-oriented, and faith-building early education environment. Our school-year program exclusively serves VPK students (4-5 year old preschoolers) with our quality early education environment. We ensure our teachers have encouragement through training and mentoring, while building a team of passionate, innovative early childhood educators. We are looking for teachers who:
• Profess and exhibit a living and active personal relationship with Jesus Christ – as evidenced in the teacher’s mission-oriented mindset, regular worship participation at a Christian church, and personal spiritual habits of Bible study and prayer
• Support the outreach and discipleship mission of Grace Lutheran Church and its Preschool
• Meet or exceed the Florida VPK teacher requirements, including background checks and required trainings (*we can help you with this!)
• Preferred: post-secondary education in Child Development/Early Childhood Education, and/or CDA credential (for Lead Teachers)
• Demonstrate an understanding of Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP) in a play-based academic setting (Piaget and Vygotsky theory-driven)
• Demonstrate an authentic love for working with preschool children, supported by teaching skills to build children’s growth across the developmental domains – including nurturing children’s spiritual growth through modeling, teaching, and praying with students and families
Our school is in session mid-August through May; main preschool sessions are 9:00 am to 1:00 pm Monday through Thursday (Fridays off!). Position will begin August 11th for school year prep. Our school provides an excellent preschool environment with teacher life balance, all while sharing the love of Jesus as we prepare children for Kindergarten.
Please send your resume and a message sharing your passion for early childhood teaching ministry to Dr. Tosca Grimm, Preschool Director at preschool@gracepensacola.org, or call the school office at 850-505-7735.
