Teaching, Learning & Auxiliary Coordinator

The Cathedral Preschool seeks an experienced preschool and early childhood educator to serve as Coordinator of Teaching, Learning, and Auxiliary Programs, a key instructional leader and collaborative partner to faculty. Rooted in our mission to educate the whole child—emotionally, intellectually, socially, physically, and spiritually—this role supports teachers through reflective coaching, professional collaboration, and shared accountability for high-quality, developmentally appropriate practice.

This leadership position is directly responsible to the Director for the supervision of the teaching and learning methodology, classroom management, and student assessment for our early learning and preschool students (ages 1-4). Faculty members at the Cathedral Preschool, founded in 1970, are part of a collaborative and supportive faculty with a common goal of continuously improving a great school.

The Coordinator brings fluency across multiple curricular approaches, including project-based, inquiry-driven, experiential, and play-based instruction, and works alongside teachers to translate educational philosophy into thoughtful, intentional classroom practice. Central to this role is the ability to provide clear, supportive feedback, guide professional growth, and engage in respectful, direct conversations when expectations or instructional practices are challenged, all in service of children and a strong professional community.

In addition to school-year leadership, this position coordinates planning and oversight of a short summer camp program. Camp planning begins in January, with camp operating for three, non-consecutive weeks across June, July, and/or August.
