Full-Time PK3 Teacher

PreK3 Teacher – Full-Time

St. Eugene School | Yonkers, New York Potential Immediate Start

St. Eugene School, a Catholic school serving students from PreK through Grade 8, is seeking a warm, energetic, and dedicated NYS-certified Early Childhood teacher to join our faculty as a PreK3 Teacher, with the potential to begin immediately.

This is an excellent opportunity for a certified educator who may be beginning their professional journey in early childhood education and is looking for a school where they can learn, contribute, and grow as part of a supportive faculty.

About the Position

Our PreK3 program provides our youngest learners with a joyful, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate introduction to school. The position utilizes a split-session model, with one group of PreK3 students attending a morning session and a second group attending an afternoon session.

The teacher will create a classroom where children feel safe, loved, engaged, and excited to come to school each day. Our goal is to build the routines, independence, social-emotional skills, and early academic foundations that prepare children for continued success while always respecting the developmental needs of three-year-olds.

Responsibilities include:

• Planning and delivering engaging, developmentally appropriate instruction and activities
• Creating a warm, welcoming, organized, and safe classroom environment
• Establishing consistent routines and age-appropriate expectations
• Supporting children's social, emotional, academic, physical, and spiritual development
• Communicating positively and professionally with families
• Collaborating closely with classroom assistants, fellow teachers, and school leadership
• Participating in school and parish activities and events
• Supporting and modeling the Catholic identity, values, and mission of St. Eugene School
• Maintaining appropriate student records, classroom documentation, and family communication

Who We're Looking For

Candidates should hold New York State Early Childhood Education certification (Birth–Grade 2).

Previous early childhood classroom experience is welcomed, but we are especially open to a certified teacher who may be at the beginning of their early childhood career and is eager to develop their skills within a supportive school environment.

We are looking for someone who is compassionate, dependable, creative, collaborative, and genuinely enjoys working with young children. Strong communication skills and the ability to build positive relationships with children, families, colleagues, and school leadership are essential.

Why St. Eugene?

St. Eugene School is a close-knit Catholic school community with a dedicated faculty that works together and cares deeply about its students. We believe children learn best when they feel safe, known, supported, and valued.

Our school continues to strengthen its academic programs, expand opportunities for students, and build a positive school culture rooted in faith, kindness, high expectations, and partnership with families. We value the individual strengths and ideas that each faculty member brings to our community and want our teachers to continue growing alongside their students.

Schedule & Compensation

The regular work schedule is Monday through Friday, 7:35 a.m.–3:10 p.m.

Faculty members are also expected to participate in occasional evening school events throughout the year, including family-teacher conferences, concerts, and other important school community events.

Salary is commensurate with education and experience.  Salary range:  $55,072.00 - $76,907.00

Interested candidates should submit a resume and brief cover letter describing their interest in the position and in working with our youngest learners at St. Eugene School.
