About Georgetown Hill

We're a local non-profit preschool with a big mission: bring teachers, children, and families together to create an early childhood experience that's second to none. We've been doing this in Maryland since 1980 (see our story here) — so we know a thing or two about what makes a classroom feel like home.

We take care of the people who take care of our kids. Expect a positive, team-first environment where your voice actually gets heard, your growth is genuinely encouraged, and your impact doesn't go unnoticed.

• 🦷 Dental, vision, disability & life insurance
• 💰 401(k) with employer match
• 🎓 Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) eligible employer
• 📊 Pre-tax spending accounts
• 🌱 Real opportunities for professional growth

We're proud to be an equal-opportunity employer that builds a team from every kind of background, perspective, and experience — because that's what makes our classrooms (and our staff room) better.

The Role -

Bilingual Lead Teacher

You're the heartbeat of the classroom. You'll design engaging days using our P.L.A.N. curriculum — woven with English-Spanish programming — build real relationships with your students, and set the tone for a safe, joyful, well-run room where kids grow up bilingual from day one.

What you'll do:

• Plan and lead daily activities using our P.L.A.N. curriculum, incorporating English-Spanish instruction
• Build strong, trusting bonds with students and their families
• Own classroom management — creating a consistent, positive environment for kids and staff alike
• Support each child's physical, social-emotional, and developmental growth
• Communicate clearly and warmly with families, colleagues, and your community — in English and Spanish

You'll bring:

• Fluency in English and Spanish
• 3–5 years of relevant classroom experience
• A bachelor's degree is required (preferably in the field of education). You may also need an MSDE 90hr Preschool Certificate or CDA Certification with Preschool Endorsement (minimum)
• Solid grasp of child development principles and instructional strategies
• Working knowledge of MSDE regulations
• A warm, friendly, unflappable demeanor is a must
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Reliability you could set a clock to

Where You'll Work

📍 Potomac Village/Potomac — In the heart of Potomac, this multi-level campus has so many hidden treasures: outdoor classroom, art studio, enrichment center, and more.
