About Us

The Umbrella Tree Child Development Center is a licensed child development center in Long Beach, California, serving children from six weeks through kindergarten. We are built on six core values — Excellence, Equity, Integrity, Compassion, Belonging, and Accountability — and we hold one standard: every child in our care receives the same quality of environment, engagement, and expertise, regardless of background, ability, or funding source.
The Role

As a Teacher's Assistant at The Umbrella Tree, you are an active and essential part of the classroom team. You support the Lead Teacher, contribute to the environment, and show up fully present for every child in your care — every day.
You will:
  • Support the Lead Teacher in maintaining a warm, organized, and engaging classroom
  • Actively engage with children throughout the day — on their level, present, and attentive
  • Use positive, expectation-forward language with children at all times
  • Assist with daily routines including meals, transitions, and activities
  • Help maintain classroom materials, supplies, and cleanliness to our standard
  • Support documentation and recordkeeping as directed by the Lead Teacher
  • Participate fully in professional development and required training
Required Qualifications

  • Minimum 12 ECE units 
  • Mandated Reporter Training (AB 1432)
  • Pediatric CPR/First Aid (current)
  • Food Handler's Certification
  • TB clearance
  • DOJ/FBI LiveScan fingerprint clearance

A genuine interest in growing within early childhood education is a plus. We invest in people who want to be here.

  • Compensation at or above market rate
  • Annual continuing education stipend
  • In-house professional development throughout the year, at no cost to you
  • A workplace where you are supported, respected, and set up to succeed
