The Croft School :

  • Cambridge Founding Lead Preschool Teacher Start Date : August 2026 About The Croft School The Croft School organization is a young, high-quality, independent school organization.  We have opened and now operate three growing and acclaimed independent schools in Providence, RI, Jamaica Plain, MA, and the South End neighborhood of Boston, respectively.

We are thrilled by the opportunity to open a fourth school, The Croft School :

  • Cambridge, in September 2026.
  • During the 2026-27 school year, we will enroll students in Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten.  During the 2027-28 year, we will expand to include Kindergarten.
  • Over time, we will grow (one grade level per year) into a Preschool-Grade 8 school.
  • The Croft School is considered by many families and teachers to represent an exciting new type of school that is ideal for those concerned about the area’s existing public school (inconsistent quality; large class sizes; driven by standardized test outcomes) and private school (elitism; non-affordability; limited diversity; lack of innovation) options.
  • The Croft School :

  • Cambridge will be built around the ethos of rigor, spark, heart, joy, and belonging.
  • More information about our school can be found here :

  • www.thecroftschool.org.

  • The program is play- and inquiry-based and includes developmentally appropriate literacy and math instruction.
  • Students engage in frequent enrichment and Spanish courses, as well as weekly nature explorations or community trips.
  • Further, we seek to provide our families with an exceptional experience built around convenience, community, communication, and partnership.
  • The ideal candidate will be committed to building deep relationships with their students and using that knowledge to establish and lead a dynamic, child-centered classroom.   The best candidates will be ready and excited to dedicate ample time and thoughtfulness to close communication and partnership with their students’ families.  Further, given that The Croft School is committed to being a self-reflective, ever-improving anti-racist organization, the right candidate should be excited to contribute the school’s related efforts and practices.
  • Qualifications and Qualities 3+ years of early childhood experience, ideally in an emergent or Reggio-inspired setting A contagious love for teaching, children, and nurturing students’ natural curiosity, instilling in them a lifelong passion for learning.
  • Enthusiasm for designing and delivering creative, engaging lessons and theme-based projects.

  • Ability to design and lead targeted, small-group instruction.
  • Self-reflectiveness, humility, and an eagerness to continually improve one’s practice.
  • A strong desire to remain in this role for 5+ years.
  • A Bachelor’s Degree and current authorization to work in the United States is required.
  • Compensation The Croft School offers compensation which is inspired by, and competitive with, other local independent and public school opportunities.  The approximate compensation for this role will be $65,000 - $110,000, commensurate with experience.
  • Non-Discrimination As an equal opportunity employer, The Croft School does not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, ability, age, religion, sexual orientation, or national or ethnic origin.  We encourage applicants of all backgrounds to apply.
