Preschool Teacher

Do you have a passion for teaching? Perhaps a love for guiding youth? 

The Early Learning Center at Congregation Beth Elohim is a preschool offering traditional daycare hours in Acton, Massachusetts. Our curriculum fosters intellectual and social-emotional growth, community-building and mutual respect, as interpreted through the lens of Jewish wisdom and values. Children are encouraged to express their interests and abilities through play, language, music and art. Numbers, letters, science and nature are an integral part of the everyday experience. We celebrate the fullness of living in a multicultural world and celebrate Jewish heritage through songs, holidays and festivals, story, dance and language. While proudly Jewish, we welcome families and teachers of all faiths and cultures to join our loving and closely-knit community.
