Preschool Substitute Teacher

Summary

Job description:

Tarrytown Children’s Center is a warm and welcoming Christian preschool serving young children and families in the Austin community. Our program focuses on creating a nurturing, faith-centered environment where children can learn, grow, and explore through play, creativity, and caring relationships.

We are looking for caring and dependable Substitute Teachers to join our team on an as-needed basis. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys working with young children and would like a flexible, occasional schedule.
