Lead Teacher – Join Our Goddard Family


The Goddard School® of Naperville (83rd Street) is seeking a passionate, confident Lead Teacher who is ready to lead a classroom with heart, purpose, and professionalism.


We are proud to have an exceptional team of educators who collaborate, support one another, and bring positive energy into every classroom. At our School, we put teachers first — because you put children first.


As a Lead Teacher, you won’t just manage a classroom — you’ll inspire young minds, mentor Assistant Teachers, and create a nurturing environment where children feel safe, confident, and excited to learn.


You’ll implement engaging, developmentally appropriate experiences using our newest Wonder of Learning® curriculum, in beautiful, state-of-the-art classrooms — including access to our indoor gym, a feature not all schools offer.


We believe great schools are built by strong leaders in the classroom. That’s why we support and celebrate our team with:


  • Ongoing teacher recognition
  • Staff appreciation lunches
  • Fun team contests
  • Supportive, hands-on leadership
  • Professional growth opportunities

This is more than a job — it’s a place where your leadership is valued and your impact is felt every single day.


What You’ll Do:


Curriculum & Instruction
Implement engaging, age-appropriate lesson plans using our Wonder of Learning® curriculum to support each child’s individual growth.


Classroom Leadership
Create and maintain a safe, nurturing, and inclusive classroom environment where children thrive.


Family Communication
Build strong, positive relationships with families through consistent communication about milestones and daily experiences.


Health & Safety
Supervise children indoors and outdoors while upholding licensing standards and ensuring their well-being.


Professional Growth
Participate in ongoing development and training to strengthen your leadership and teaching skills.


Assessment & Documentation
Observe and assess children’s development to inform instruction and share meaningful insights with families.


Team Collaboration
Mentor and support Assistant and Resource Teachers while fostering a positive, collaborative classroom culture.


Behavior Guidance
Model and implement positive guidance strategies that support social-emotional development and conflict resolution.


What You Bring:


  • High school diploma required (Associate’s or Bachelor’s in Early Childhood Education preferred)

  • CDA preferred

  • 1–2 years of experience in a licensed childcare or preschool setting

  • Completion of state-required pre-service training

  • Strong communication skills with children, families, and colleagues

  • Leadership presence and classroom confidence

  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs.

  • Ability to meet all state licensing requirements

If you’re ready to lead a classroom with confidence, creativity, and heart — and want to be part of a supportive, uplifting school community — we would love to meet you.


Come grow with us at The Goddard School of Naperville (83rd).
