About the Opportunity

Love working with young children but interested in building a career beyond the classroom?

This is a unique opportunity to combine early childhood math education, academic program development, and business operations in one full-time role.

As a Lower School Math Teacher & Business Operations Specialist, you will work directly with young learners (ages 3–6) and their families while contributing to the growth and development of Think Academy’s Lower School programs.

This role is ideal for recent graduates and early-career professionals who:

• Enjoy working with young children and making learning fun.

• Want to develop strong teaching, communication, and leadership skills.

• Are interested in education, business operations, or program management.

No prior teaching experience is required. We provide structured training and ongoing professional development to help you succeed.

What You’ll Do

1. Early Childhood Math Teaching & Academic Development

• Observe student progress and provide individualized learning support.

• Communicate with parents about student development, learning progress, and educational recommendations.

• Collaborate with the academic team to improve curriculum, classroom activities, and teaching practices.

• Share classroom insights and student feedback to support future program development.

2. Parent Engagement & Program Operations

• Build strong, trusted relationships with students and families.

• Understand families’ educational goals and recommend appropriate learning programs.

• Support the full student journey, including trial classes, enrollment, onboarding, retention, and ongoing parent communication.

• Help organize and participate in Open Houses, parent workshops, and community events.

• Collect and analyze parent feedback to continuously improve the learning experience.

3. Business Operations & Program Growth

• Support the daily operations and continued growth of Think Academy Silicon Valley’s Lower School programs.

• Collaborate with campus leadership on local marketing, student recruitment, and community engagement initiatives.

• Identify opportunities to improve operational efficiency, parent satisfaction, and student retention.

• Take ownership of special projects related to program development, enrollment growth, and business improvement.

• Gain exposure to education business management and cross-functional collaboration.
