About the Opportunity
We are seeking a passionate and experienced ECC Hebrew Language Program Specialist to serve as the classroom teacher for our Hebrew Language Program at the Early Childhood Center.

This role is ideal for an educator who is passionate about early childhood learning and eager to shape a new Hebrew language initiative through an engaging, immersive teaching approach.
