Early Childhood Lead Teacher

Mountain Laurel Waldorf School, located in the heart of New Paltz, NY is seeking an experienced, Waldorf trained Early Childhood lead teacher.

A Nursery through Eighth Grade school, Mountain Laurel Waldorf School was founded in 1983 by a group of parents searching for an educational alternative for their children. The school is housed in a charming Victorian mansion, circa 1876, which is in walking distance from the village center of New Paltz, Historic Huguenot Street (the oldest street in America), the State University of New York (SUNY) campus, and a large community playground where our elementary school children play. Our music program includes both an after school chamber group and recorder ensemble. The school currently has a mandate group system of governance and a committed College of Teachers. Our staff numbers near thirty, with an active and supportive Board of Trustees. Benefits include medical coverage, tuition remission, and a continuing education stipend.

Located in the beautiful Mid-Hudson Valley, New Paltz is approximately ninety miles from New York City. It is home to many active artist and ecological groups, as well as the renowned Mohonk Mountain House skating pavilion and nature preserve. In addition, two major centers of Anthroposophical endeavor, Spring Valley with Sunbridge College and Hawthorne Valley are close by.

Our ideal candidate is a certified Waldorf teacher with classroom experience, but we will consider applicants currently enrolled in training or with comparative experience. If you are interested in joining us at Mountain Laurel Waldorf School, please email your submission to personnel@mountainlaurel.org. We look forward to hearing from you.
