Preschool Teacher

Challenger School is seeking enthusiastic, energetic individuals to join our preschool teams at our California campuses. As a preschool teacher, you are the first experience a child has with school, and you will provide the base for the rest of their education. At Challenger, not only will you teach children to read and reason, you will also foster individual responsibility, self-confidence, and independence. Our classes are fast paced, fun, and have a proven curriculum already in place. Challenger strives to give all our teachers the training and tools needed to be effective, competent, and fulfilled.  To facilitate that, you will start in our paid teacher training program where you will learn our unique curriculum and teaching styles. After successful completion of that program, you will be given a classroom of your own to teach and manage.
