Going into our new semester we have a few spots to fill.

Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9am-1pm- Part Time 2/3 year olds Lead Preschool Teacher: Our part time 2/3s class is a small class with 6 children. The capacity is 12 so we will hire another teacher if we have more students enroll. However at this time there is one main teacher with help from a floater employee if needed. This class is a school setting consisting of free play, circle time, art, small groups, lunch, and play at the park nearby. Our main goal is teaching young children kindness, sharing, along with following classroom rules such as sitting for circle time, lining up, washing their hands, etc. This job may include the occassional diaper change but it is rare.

If you already hold a valid license that will not expire for at least one year you will be given a $200 signing bonus. If you do not yet hold a license we will pay for you to obtain one.

One of the most important job requirements is showing up for work. We have struggled with a horrible attendance record which has left the teachers who do show up overworked and overstressed.

We are open all year round. If you are not available during the summer, over summer break, or at Christmas time and Spring Break when we are open, PLEASE DO NOT APPLY.

We have a very fun work environment where we become friends outside of work and have fun while at work. Childcare is a hard job but if you truly love children, and love seeing your hard work pay off through the smiles, the laughter, and the huge accomplishments that children make while at school, this is a great place to work.
