Busy Bees Learning Center is a family-owned and operated program that has been proud to serve Center City for over 22 years. We are looking for lead and assistant teachers who care about partnering with our families to provide excellent care for children ages 3 months to 5 years. This is an exciting opportunity to shape young minds and have a huge impact on the next generation! We have stable, consistent leadership (our director and assistant director have been with us since 2001), and many of our teachers have been with us for 10, 15, or even all 22 years. Come find out why we are such a great place to work!

We are hiring for the positions of lead teacher for our two-year-old classroom, and assistant teacher for our infant, toddler, two-year-old, and preschool classrooms.

If you are looking for an opportunity to serve children, be creative, dance a little, sing a lot, and generally operate in an energy-infused environment, then we may be a great fit for you. We offer a parent-friendly, family environment for the kids. For our staff, we provide a tremendous amount of support and encouragement, lots of learning, and professional development opportunities for your career working with infants up to pre-Kindergarten.

Each day at Busy Bees Learning Center will include but is not limited to activities like sensory exploration, singing, musical instruments, basic sign language, storytelling with props, and more, as well as exercising top-notch care routines for infants and young children.
