CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
We generally seek the same qualities in assistant teachers that we seek in lead teachers. This is because often times our assistant teachers become lead teachers within our school! That being said, a CE or Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education or Early Childhood Education issued by the NJDOE is a major bonus. We will also consider candidates that are working towards certification as an opportunity for them to grow with us. Please see below for the minimum qualifications to apply:
