Job Description Summary At Treasureland Preschool, we believe young children deserve unhurried time, patient adults, and classrooms where curiosity is protected. We are a relationship-based, play-centered preschool serving children ages 2–5, and we are seeking a Lead Teacher who approaches early childhood with both warmth and intention. Our Pre-K classroom is a place where block towers are built and rebuilt, feelings are met with steady presence, and behavior is approached with curiosity rather than control. We are not a worksheet-based program. If you’ve been looking for a place where play, inquiry, and relationship truly drive the work, you may have found it. We are looking for an educator who delights in welcoming children each morning and is equally invested in building thoughtful partnerships with families. The right teammate values collaboration, follows health and safety practices with care, plans intentionally, and models responsive (not reactive) guidance. Most of all, they bring a gentle presence into the room — steady, kind, and deeply attuned to young children. Who We Are Treasureland Preschool is a relationship-based, play-centered learning community in Denver, Colorado. We serve children ages 2–5 in classrooms designed to honor process over product, inquiry over performance, and guidance rooted in connection and consistency.

We are committed to developmentally appropriate practice, inclusive community, and ongoing professional growth. Many of our teachers choose to stay long-term because of the meaningful relationships they build with children, families, and one another year after year. Who You Are You are an educator who believes children deserve patience, dignity, and deep respect. You approach behavior with curiosity rather than judgment and see emotions as opportunities for connection and skill-building. You plan thoughtfully and understand that a well-prepared environment creates space for meaningful play. You are attentive to health and safety practices and follow licensing protocols with care and consistency. You delight in welcoming children each morning and value building strong, collaborative relationships with families. You enjoy partnering with a co-teacher to reflect, problem-solve, and wonder together about children’s growth and development. You bring a sense of grounded joy to your work — finding meaning in block towers, sandbox conversations, and the daily rhythms of a child's life. You model positive language, remain steady in moments of stress, and approach challenges with openness and a willingness to reflect. Duties This is a co-lead teaching position in our Pre-K (4-year-old) classroom.

Job Description This job post is for the 2026/2027 school year, starting in August of 2026. Staff will report to summer PD in July of 2026. The RMP Promise Rocky Mountain Prep is a movement of educators, families, scholars, and advocates committed to changing public education in Colorado by democratizing college access for historically marginalized students and families. We operate twelve college-preparatory schools serving students from early childhood through twelfth grade, and we are fundamentally a world-class learning organization that invests deeply in every educator who joins us. Teachers engage in ongoing coaching and professional development, supported by clear expectations, transparent feedback, and opportunities to strengthen their craft and advance along individualized career pathways grounded in our PEAK values. Rooted in a culture of rigor and love, RMP promises to coach, develop, and champion every team member so they can do their best work and grow as professionals, people, and leaders. Our Approach to English Language Arts At RMP, we don’t just teach English—we teach students to think critically, communicate effectively, and see the power of their own voices. The knowledge-building curriculum you deliver doesn’t just impact your classroom—it strengthens students’ success across all subjects by building essential background knowledge, vocabulary, and critical thinking skills that enhance comprehension and engagement in other areas. At the heart of this work is a commitment to fostering a lifelong love of literature and information gathering, reading, writing, and inspiring students to see themselves as thinkers, creators, and learners. By bringing the curriculum to life, you’ll offer students “windows and mirrors” to explore diverse perspectives while reflecting on their identities. This foundation is critical for preparing students to meet and exceed the college-ready benchmark on Evidence-Based Reading and Writing on the SAT in high school. This role transforms lives, ensures every lesson has purpose and fun, and is connected to their future success. ELA Teachers at Rocky Mountain Prep will... • Read and fall in love with the unit texts: Cultivate a deep enthusiasm for the texts you teach, as your passion will be integral in students connecting to and engaging with the material on a deeper level., • Write grade-level exemplars of writing tasks, diagnose writing, and efficiently give batch feedback: Guided by your clear, high-quality writing exemplars for students, diagnose writing challenges, and deliver timely, efficient batch feedback that supports students in improving their writing., • Be a scholar of the Common Core Standards: Understand the grade-level expectations outlined in the Common Core Standards, using them to define your bar of rigor., • Be a scholar of the Science of Reading: Immerse yourself in the Science of Reading to improve your approach to literacy instruction continuously. Use evidence-based strategies for building knowledge, enhancing vocabulary, and ensuring comprehension, with a special focus on fostering a love of language and words., • Champion our Accelerated Reading Goal: Model and support students in achieving our goal of reading 2 million words.

Job Description Summary At Treasureland Preschool, we believe young children deserve unhurried time, patient adults, and classrooms where curiosity is protected. We are a relationship-based, play-centered preschool serving children ages 2–5, and we are seeking a Lead Teacher who approaches early childhood with both warmth and intention. Our early preschool classroom is a place where block towers are built and rebuilt, feelings are met with steady presence, and behavior is approached with curiosity rather than control. We are not a worksheet-based program. If you’ve been looking for a place where play, inquiry, and relationship truly drive the work, you may have found it. We are looking for an educator who delights in welcoming children each morning and is equally invested in building thoughtful partnerships with families. The right teammate values collaboration, follows health and safety practices with care, plans intentionally, and models responsive (not reactive) guidance. Most of all, they bring a gentle presence into the room — steady, kind, and deeply attuned to young children. Who We Are Treasureland Preschool is a relationship-based, play-centered learning community in Denver, Colorado. We serve children ages 2–5 in classrooms designed to honor process over product, inquiry over performance, and guidance rooted in connection and consistency. Our school day runs from 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM, with teachers on site from 8:30 AM – 2:00 PM.

We are committed to developmentally appropriate practice, inclusive community, and ongoing professional growth. Many of our teachers choose to stay long-term because of the meaningful relationships they build with children, families, and one another year after year. Who You Are You are an educator who believes toddlers deserve patience, dignity, and deep respect. You approach behavior with curiosity rather than judgment and see emotions as opportunities for connection and skill-building. You plan thoughtfully and understand that a well-prepared environment creates space for meaningful play. You are attentive to health and safety practices and follow licensing protocols with care and consistency. You delight in welcoming children each morning and value building strong, collaborative relationships with families. You enjoy partnering with a co-teacher to reflect, problem-solve, and wonder together about children’s growth and development. You bring a sense of grounded joy to your work — finding meaning in block towers, sandbox conversations, and the daily rhythms of toddler life. You model positive language, remain steady in moments of stress, and approach challenges with openness and a willingness to reflect. Duties This is a co-lead teaching position in our Early Preschool (2-year-old) classroom.
