We are looking for a Nursery School Teacher to join the The Saul and Carole Zabar Nursery School at the Marlene Meyerson Jewish Community Center of Manhattan ("the JCC"). The Saul and Carol Zabar Nursery School is a Reggio-inspired, Jewish-values-based, child-centered school where students are respected as citizens with powerful ideas and voices. Teachers facilitate learning by working collaboratively with children as researchers, guiding and following the interests of the group.

We are an inclusive school that celebrates the developmental differences of each child. Teachers support each child's learning, their connections with one another, their achievements, and their points of view by making their work visible through many forms of documentation. Teachers partner with families to build a strong classroom and schoolwide community. Our teachers are learners and leaders, whose voices and ideas shape the school around them.

We are seeking a teacher who shares a belief in school community and progressive pedagogy. This teacher will serve as a floater teacher. Reporting to the Nursery School Director, this teacher will move across classes as needed. We are looking for someone flexible, collaborative and enjoys teaching.
