Early Childhood Lead Teacher

The Waldorf School of Garden City educates children to meet the world with purpose, gratitude, and respect. We strive to be an environment where diversity is celebrated, and all students, educators, and families are valued for their unique gifts and contributions to our community. Our teaching community strives for an ever-expanding understanding of complex issues of race, equity, identity, and wellness. Prospective candidates must be Waldorf trained and aligned with our core mission and value statements: Read more about our Mission and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion statement of intent.

Join our vibrant and diverse school community, where collaboration and creativity combine with our Waldorf curriculum to meet the needs of today’s students. We balance rigorous academics and form with creative expression and enthusiasm for learning.

Located on lush ten acres, we are situated between northern and southern beaches and yet only a 45-minute drive to the cultural offerings of Manhattan. Our 75+ years of experience and an innovative outlook toward the future, make working at our School extraordinary.

Our teachers are supported through mentorship and ongoing professional development, including a connection to like-minded teachers and visits to other Waldorf schools. If you are coming from out of the area, generous relocation packages are available. Our school’s comprehensive benefits package includes competitive compensation, health, life, and disability insurance, and a school-funded retirement account.
