Position Overview
Most new team members begin with a paid, in-depth online training process as well as shadowing in a classroom prior to officially starting a Part Time Assistant Teacher role. This allows you to become familiar with our classrooms, routines, and expectations while providing support throughout the center.

- 12:00 PM or 1:00 PM–6:00 PM
After 90 days, opportunities for Lead Teacher positions and more consistent scheduling may become available based on performance, reliability, attendance, and accountability.
Applicants with limited or restricted availability are welcome to apply; however, we cannot guarantee a fixed schedule. Team members with limited availability may be scheduled on an as-needed basis in a substitute capacity to help meet staffing needs throughout the center.
