Christian Preschool Teachers, we need you!

Calling inspired preschool teachers! If you are looking for a relationship-based school that is committed to building your effectiveness in early childhood ministry, we invite you to join our faculty at Amazing Grace Christian Preschool! We understand that our teachers are a vital influence on our community’s families, so we nurture our team to equip them to teach at their best. Our Christian-based center provides a quality landscape for a joyful, family-oriented, and faith-building early education environment. Our school-year program exclusively serves three classrooms of VPK (4-5 year old preschoolers) with our quality early education environment. We ensure our teachers have encouragement through training and mentoring, while building a team of passionate, innovative early childhood educators. We are looking for teachers who:

Profess and exhibit a living and active personal relationship with Jesus Christ – as evidenced in the teacher’s mission-oriented mindset, regular worship participation at a Christian church, and personal spiritual habits of Bible study and prayer

Support the outreach and discipleship mission of Grace Lutheran Church and its Preschool

Meet or exceed the Florida VPK teacher requirements, including background checks and required trainings (we can help you with this!)

Preferred: post-secondary education in Child Development/Early Childhood Education, and/or CDA credential (for Lead Teachers)

Demonstrate an understanding of Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP) in a play-based academic setting (Piaget and Vygotsky theory-driven)

Demonstrate an authentic love for working with preschool children, supported by teaching skills to build children’s growth across the developmental domains – including nurturing children’s spiritual growth through modeling, teaching, and praying with students and families

Our school is in session mid-August through May; main preschool sessions are 9:00 am to 1:00 pm Monday through Thursday (Fridays off!). Position will begin August 12th for school year prep. Wages are dependent on role - assistants earn $15/hr. Our school provides an excellent preschool environment with teacher life balance, all while sharing the love of Jesus as we prepare children for Kindergarten.

Please send your resume and a message sharing your passion for early childhood teaching ministry to Dr. Tosca Grimm, Preschool Director at preschool@gracepensacola.org, or call the school office at 850-505-7735. Please let us know your brief faith story and tell us about your church home.
