Assistant Teacher - Toddler and Preschool at ElevatEd – Dix Hills, New York

At Elevated, we believe in the power of education to build strong, connected communities. We partner with Jewish schools and early education centers to recruit, support, and elevate talented educators. While our roots are in the Jewish community, our schools welcome students, families, and teachers of all backgrounds. What unites us is a shared commitment to high-quality education, nurturing environments, and helping children thrive.

We are seeking a passionate and nurturing Assistant Teacher to join our network of schools. In this part-time role, you will support the Lead Teacher in creating a warm, engaging, and developmentally appropriate classroom for bright and curious preschoolers. You’ll help implement hands-on, play-based activities that foster curiosity, independence, and early social-emotional skills, while learning from experienced educators and gaining valuable skills that can lead to future growth opportunities.

This is a part-time position offering stability, collaboration, and the opportunity to grow into a lead teaching role while making a meaningful impact within a supportive early childhood education community.
