Classroom Coverage & Program Continuity

  • Support smooth transitions during arrivals, departures, and nap routines
  • Assist with playground safety checks and emergency preparedness audits
  • Step into kitchen aide duties as needed to maintain uninterrupted service

Qualifications
Required
  • Prior experience in food service, childcare, or a related environment
  • Ability to follow safety, sanitation, and checklist-based procedures
  • Willingness to obtain Food Safety Certification within 90 days of hire
  • Current or ability to obtain CPR/First Aid certification

Preferred
  • Experience in Early Head Start, Head Start, or CACFP-regulated environments
  • Bilingual skills (Spanish, Portuguese, or Cape Verdean Creole)
  • Interest in pursuing a long-term career in early childhood education or human services

Schedule & Work Environment
  • Full-Time (30+ hours per week)
  • Monday-Friday
  • Standard hours: 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM. This schedule is consistent; however, limited flexibility may be required on occasion.
  • In-person role at the Newport/Chafee site

Benefits
  • Hourly rate: $16.50 - $19.50
  • Comprehensive medical and dental insurance
  • Vision insurance
  • 403(b) retirement plan with employer match (after one year)
  • Employer-paid life insurance
  • Generous paid time off (vacation, holidays, personal and sick time)
  • Mileage reimbursement
