Auxiliary Programs Manager
A full-time twelve-month benefits-eligible leadership position

NPES is seeking a responsible, detail-oriented, energetic, optimistic, collaborative, and culturally-responsive leader to manage and strengthen the operations of our After Care, Days-Off, Sleepunder Saturdays (1x monthly), Summer’s Cool, and daily lunch programs, while lending staff support as needed (particularly in July and August when school maintains summer hours without students on campus). The Auxiliary Programs Manager recruits,  supervises and evaluates a team of about six part-time Aftercare Associates who provide childcare after school and on select days when school is not in session, meets weekly with the Head of School, and works closely with our Office Manager and Director of Business & Operations. This is an outstanding leadership opportunity for an emerging or experienced educational leader who recognizes the value of these programs for students and who possesses the mindset and skills described below.

Currently, regular school-day hours for this role are 10:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. with breaks. Days-Off Program and Summer’s School hours are currently 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. with breaks, and Sleepunder Saturdays hours are approximately 5:00-8:30 p.m. on select Saturdays (about ten per calendar year). In July and early August hours are typically 9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m., unless otherwise designated. The Auxiliary Programs Manager works closely with the Head of School on educational staffing and planning but reports to the Director of Business & Operations, as this is largely an operational role.

Lead Preschool Teacher
A full-time benefits-eligible position beginning August 20, 2025

NPES is seeking an experienced, progressive, collaborative, and culturally-responsive early childhood expert and educator to be a lead teacher in the school’s outstanding Reggio-inspired preschool program, working with our threes, the entry class for our preschool through eighth grade independent school.

A successful candidate will bring considerable developmental expertise, confidence,  warmth, joy, and a process-oriented play-based approach to educating NPES’ youngest learners. A deep understanding of the social-emotional and intellectual needs of 3 and 4 year olds is a must. In the NPES early childhood program, teachers act as observers and guides, assisting students in purposeful play to organically develop foundational academic and social skills for success in the years ahead. Curating project-based, thematic learning opportunities in high-interest, emergent areas of study–with the development of social-emotional skills always at the forefront–is the hallmark of the NPES early childhood program.

The lead teacher works closely and collaboratively with one full-time associate teacher in the preschool classroom (students who are three-years-old in the fall) as well as a part-time early childhood Art Teacher and a part-time Early Childhood Aid, while also being part of an early childhood team (Preschool and Junior Kindergarten) of 6 educators, including an experienced Team Leader.
