Join a team of three teachers caring for nine children ages six weeks to 18 months. **What you’ll help make possible** - Children feel safe and supported as they grow. Through responsive caregiving, floor-based play, and developmentally appropriate experiences, you’ll support exploration and growing independence.

You’ll set clear routines and share feeding, diapering, cleaning, comforting, and teaching fairly. You’ll lead while working alongside your team, offer timely, respectful feedback, and welcome ideas from colleagues at every experience level. - Safety practices stay part of everyday care. You’ll model and reinforce required practices for safe sleep, bottle and breast milk handling, diapering, sanitation, and supervision. You’ll notice when a reminder or correction is needed, address it promptly, and involve the directors when appropriate. **What you’ll bring** - Qualifications to work as a lead teacher in Colorado; infant supervisor qualifications are preferred. - Experience caring for and teaching infants, including children under 12 months. - The ability to notice children’s needs and adapt within a group-care setting. - Experience building trusting relationships with families and explaining observations clearly and kindly. - A willingness to guide colleagues, give respectful feedback, and share all classroom responsibilities. - The judgment to ask for help, communicate concerns, and take responsibility when something goes wrong. **A community that cares for its teachers** Rodef Shalom Preschool is part of Congregation Rodef Shalom, an egalitarian Conservative synagogue that thinks of itself as an extended family. We welcome teachers and families of every faith, background, identity, and family structure.
