Creative Starts Learning Center

Job description:

Salary varies $24-$26 per hour based on experience and education credentials. Qualified Teaching Staff are eligible for up to $2,600 Bonus after 6 months. 

We are seeking a Classroom Supervisor who will maintain an active presence across all classrooms conducting regular classroom walkthroughs to support teaching staff, enforce safety protocols, and ensure a high-quality, fully compliant learning environment.

This role determines whether a center runs smoothly or chaotic, whether staff feel supported or burned out, and whether children experience a consistent, nurturing environment. If you are enthusiastic about working with preschool-aged children and are committed to creating a nurturing learning environment, we invite you to apply for this rewarding position.

Our company values our employees and we work to make sure they are well taken care of. We provide top tier competitive pay with generous increases and benefits including vacation and holiday pay. If applicable, we provide childcare to our staff at no cost.

At Creative Starts, you don't have to choose between big-company resources and a family feel. Our multi-location, family-run preschools offer the robust tools, competitive support, and opportunities for career growth of a large center—with the heart, personal touch, and welcoming atmosphere of a local school.

Skip the corporate grind and come work where you’re truly valued.
