Auxiliary Programs Coordinator

Our School

Cobble Hill Playschool is a NAEYC-accredited preschool that has served Brooklyn families for

almost 50 years. We are a nonprofit parent cooperative, which means we place a premium on

parent involvement and the home-school connection. Our unique and vibrant preschool

program is play based, child centered, and deeply rooted in developmentally appropriate,

research-based best practices. We utilize an emergent curriculum model and believe strongly in

the innate capability of all young children. Our school year runs from August 25th through June

19th, and our schedule of paid holidays loosely follows the NYC public school calendar.

In addition to our core preschool offerings, CHP runs auxiliary programs including a robust

afterschool program during the school year and a joyful, play-based summer camp that extends

into July. These programs offer families flexible care and enrichment while remaining aligned

with our child-centered mission and values.

Our Team

Our team of teachers bring a wealth of experience and skills to the table. Master’s-level early

childhood educators work with arts specialists and assistant teachers to create community,

nurture curiosity, and discover the joys of learning through play on a daily basis.

Role

We are seeking a dynamic, detail-oriented Auxiliary Programs Administrator to lead the design, administration, and daily operations of our afterschool and summer camp programs. This

The ideal candidate is a warm and collaborative educator who enjoys both program

development and hands-on leadership. They should be equally comfortable stepping into a

classroom as they are maintaining a spreadsheet or managing a schedule. This is a key

leadership position that works closely with the directors and teaching staff to ensure
