Teach Pre-K at Chicago Public Schools

Thank you for your interest in teaching early childhood with Chicago Public Schools! Over the next several years, as CPS expands pre-kindergarten across the city, we are opening hundreds of classrooms and need to hire hundreds of certified teachers.

Submit your information here if you have a teaching certificate in Illinois or from another state. Then a member of our hiring team will reach out to you to learn more about your background and match you with schools that may be a good fit.

If you are interested in participating in a teacher certification program to earn an early childhood license, please visit cps.edu/residency
