  •  Strong customer service or leadership roles involving children 
If you bring patience, energy, and a genuine interest in child development, we can train the rest.

  •  Supporting early literacy, math readiness, and STEAM activities 
  •  Implementing Creative Curriculum in developmentally appropriate ways 
  •  Encouraging positive behavior and emotional development 
  •  Creating a safe, consistent, and welcoming classroom environment 
  •  Partnering with families and collaborating with a dedicated teaching team 
What You’ll Get
We believe great educators deserve real support and stability:
  •  Competitive hourly pay: $16.00 – $19.00/hr
  •  $500 sign-on bonus (full-time) / $250 (part-time)

  •  Employee childcare discounts 
  •  401(k) eligibility 
  •  Free snacks and classroom perks 
  •  Ongoing training + professional development 
  •  Clear promotion and advancement opportunities 
  •  Year-round, stable scheduling 
Requirements
  •  High school diploma or GED required
