Childcare Lead Teacher

$32.24k - $41.6k
Full-time

Excel Learning Center

Do you see teaching young children as more than a job? At Early Learning Academies our teachers are educators who shape the future every single day. We’re looking for passionate, qualified teachers who want to grow in their careers while making a lasting difference for children and families.

There is a special place for you to be a part of the Early Learning Academies (ELA) community with Excel Creative Early Learning!

We are excited to announce an opportunity for qualified Lead Toddler Teachers to join our dedicated team. This position focuses on working with young toddlers and the 2-year-old classroom. To be considered for this role, candidates must have completed EDU 119 along with an additional 12 semester hours of Early Childhood Education (ECE) classes. While we prefer candidates with a degree or those who are currently pursuing one, previous experience in a center, particularly with toddlers, is a requirement for this position.

Pay Range

$15.50—$20 USD

Why You’ll Love Working Here

  • Competitive pay with clear wage levels for your experience & education
  • Paid training, ongoing coaching and in-service learning to strengthen your classroom practice.
  • Affordable health, dental, and vision benefits
  • Paid holidays and Paid Time off
  • 401K with company match
  • Large employee childcare discount
  • No nights or weekends — ever
  • A supportive, family-like team culture

What It Takes to Join Us

  • At least 18 years old with a HS diploma or GED
  • EDU 119 and 12+ hours of ECE coursework (or currently enrolled and working toward it)
  • Experience teaching young children
  • A love for teaching young children and supporting their growth
  • Ability to meet all state and federal childcare licensing requirements

Grow With Us
We believe in promoting from within. Many of our Lead Teachers move into Mentor, Assistant Director, and Center Director roles. Your career path in early childhood education can start right here.

Early Learning Academies (ELA) is an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, national origin, age, sex, religion, disability, sexual orientation, marital status, military or veteran status, gender identity or expression, or any other basis protected by local, state, or federal law.
