Toddler Teacher

A Lead Teacher represents the YMCA personally, professionally and in a manner in accordance with the mission and goals of the YMCA. Under the supervision of the Site Director, the Lead Teacher plans and implements classroom curriculum, updates children's records, communicates information to families, and maintains a safe, healthy, warm, engaging, and attractive environment. Age appropriate activities should provide for growth in skills, self-awareness, friendships, and character development. By conducting themselves in a caring, responsible, honest, and respectful manner, Lead Teachers are role models for children and adults. In addition, they ensure focus on programming that promotes youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility, with the ultimate goal to assist children in reaching their fullest potential. Lead Teachers implement activities for our youngest learners that align with MA guidelines and provide for positive research-based outcomes for children served. Nurturing the socio-emotional health of the children in our care is considered a primary foundation for success, including cognitive and physical growth, as well as school readiness.
