Lead Teacher Sara M Allen School in Belmont

About This Role

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Central and Northern New Hampshire is a dynamic organization supporting 200 staff across 30 Early Childhood and Out-of-School Time programs.

We’re excited to announce new job openings in Belmont, NH, at the historic Sara M Allen School—a treasured landmark built in 1894 and recently restored as part of a major community revitalization effort.

Opening is planned for June 2026, and we are hiring Infant and Toddler Teachers. Candidates hired before June will have the opportunity to train and work at our Belmont Early Learning Center.
