About This Role

Early Childhood Teacher

As of 9/15/26 we are looking for a full time assistant who will work with kids 0-2. This assistant will work 4 days a week for 10 hours shifts. The room may not be consistent as this teacher floats between our two classrooms of infant/toddlers.

Full-Time Monday–Friday | 7:30 AM–5:30 PM

Looking for more than just a job? Join a team where your work truly matters.

At our childcare center, you'll help shape the lives of young children during the most important years of their development. Every day is an opportunity to build confidence, spark curiosity, and create meaningful connections that last a lifetime.

We're a newer center filled with natural light, supportive teammates, and incredible children and families. Our culture is built on teamwork, positivity, and the belief that when our staff feel supported, our children thrive.

Why You'll Love Working Here

• Be part of a close-knit team that genuinely enjoys coming to work.
• Grow your skills through hands-on experience, mentorship, and opportunities to take on more responsibility.
• Help plan engaging activities that support children's development and celebrate their milestones.
• Build strong relationships with families and become an important part of their child's journey.
• Enjoy daily outdoor time—we believe fresh air and nature benefit both children and teachers. Even our youngest babies go outside twice a day for walks!
• We intentionally schedule extra staff each day so teachers can take breaks, stay hydrated, and support one another. You're never expected to do it all alone.

Who We're Looking For

• Passionate about helping children learn and grow.
• Positive, dependable, and ready to be part of a team.
• Excited to learn, grow professionally, and make an impact.
