Lead Teacher

Calling All Faith-Filled, Fun-Loving Educators!

Trailblazer Academy is growing, and we’re looking for a 2.5’s Teacher who’s ready to make an impact!

We are specifically looking for someone who is excited to work with a small group of 2.5-year-old kiddos! If you have a heart for young children, a passion for early learning, and a love for Jesus—we might be your dream team.

As a 2.5s Teacher, you’ll play an important role in helping our 2.5-year-olds learn, grow, and develop throughout their day. This age is full of curiosity, growing independence, big emotions, silly moments, and SO much learning! We’re looking for someone who is ready to get right in there with them and make every day meaningful, fun, and engaging.

Your Mission:

• Create a nurturing, faith-filled environment where our 2.5-year-old kiddos can thrive
• Support co-teachers and assistants in maintaining classroom routines and expectations
• Build strong, positive relationships with children, families, and fellow staff
• Communicate daily highlights, milestones, and any concerns with families
• Develop and implement age-appropriate activities that support toddler development
• Maintain a clean, organized classroom that encourages exploration and independence
• Help children develop social-emotional skills, independence, communication, and confidence
• Ensure all health and safety protocols are followed at all times
• Keep a sense of humor—because toddlers are unpredictable, energetic, and hilarious!

You Might Be a Trailblazer If:

• You are Lead Teacher certified through the State of Colorado (required)
• You MUST have previous experience working with children and be confident stepping into a fast-paced classroom with 2.5-year-olds from day one
• You understand that this is a very active, hands-on position that requires high energy from start to finish
• You are comfortable being on your feet throughout the day—moving, dancing, redirecting, engaging, cleaning, teaching, and constantly interacting with children
• You are not afraid to jump in wherever needed—whether that means dancing to toddler worship music, getting messy with sensory play, helping calm big emotions, or sitting on the floor building towers for the hundredth time
• You bring positive energy, enthusiasm, and creativity into the classroom every single day
• You understand that toddlers thrive with consistency, patience, movement, engagement, and teachers who actively participate with them—not teachers who sit back and supervise from the sidelines
• You’re able to move quickly, multitask, and keep up with busy little learners while maintaining a calm and loving presence
• You love Jesus and align with our Statement of Faith
• You believe play-based learning is meaningful and impactful
• You’re ready to lead with love, consistency, teamwork, and purpose—not just supervise children
