Looking for a Homeschool Teacher

We are seeking an experienced, creative, and nurturing Kindergarten teacher to lead a small, private homeschool co-op for 3–4 children in a home-based setting. This is a full-time, in-person role (Monday–Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.)

The ideal candidate will design and implement a comprehensive kindergarten curriculum that builds strong foundations in:

Early literacy (phonics, reading comprehension, handwriting)

Mathematics (number sense, problem-solving, basic operations)

Science (hands-on exploration, nature, basic experiments)

Social studies (community, world awareness, geography)

Social-emotional learning (cooperation, communication, emotional regulation)

Creative expression (art, music, imaginative play)

Physical activity (outdoor play, motor skill development)

We are especially looking for someone who brings a strong background or enthusiasm for math and science, and who can foster curiosity through engaging, age-appropriate instruction and exploratory learning.

The learning environment is calm, positive, and child-centered, with significant time for play, outdoor learning, and creativity. At least one child in the group has high verbal ability and a diagnosis of autism (Level 1), so experience with neurodivergent learners and differentiated instruction is highly valued.

Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree or higher (early childhood education, education, child development, or related field preferred)

Experience teaching or tutoring at the kindergarten level

Comfort designing and adapting a custom curriculum

Background working with diverse learners, including children with developmental differences

Positive, patient, and collaborative communication style with both children and parents

Reliable transportation to Rockville/Silver Spring area

Compensation:

Competitive and negotiable based on experience

Paid planning time and school breaks can be discussed

Opportunity to shape a unique, supportive learning environment from the ground up

If you are a dedicated educator excited about fostering a joyful and rigorous early learning experience in a small, hands-on setting, we’d love to hear from you.

To apply, please send your resume and a short cover letter describing your teaching philosophy and experience. Thank you!
