School-Age Mentor & Lead Teacher

Be More Than a Teacher — Be a Mentor.

Have you ever heard of Just for Me Family Center? If not, you may have just discovered one of Madison’s hidden gems in early childhood education.

What started as an in-home daycare grew into something bigger because the owner saw an opportunity to create a center that truly feels like home — a place where children feel known, families feel welcomed, and teachers are supported and encouraged to grow.

We’re looking for someone special to join our team as a School-Age Mentor & Lead Teacher.

This isn't your typical classroom position.

You’ll have a home base in our older school-age classroom, where you’ll build meaningful relationships with children, encourage their independence, be someone they can look up to, and help make their time here fun, positive, and memorable.

And because no two days in childcare are exactly alike, you’ll also have the opportunity to float throughout the center during the day, working with different age groups and becoming an important part of the entire team.

This could be a great fit if you...

• Love working with school-age children and enjoy their personalities, humor, and growing independence
• Want to be more than someone who simply “runs a classroom”
• Enjoy being a positive role model and someone children can count on
• Like variety in your day rather than doing the exact same thing every day
• Believe relationships are at the heart of quality childcare
• Want to work somewhere your ideas, experience, and personality are valued
• Have previous teaching experience and the required teaching certifications

And then there’s what we offer YOU.

At Just for Me Family Center, we believe in taking care of the people who take care of children.

You’ll receive:

• PTO & Paid Holidays
• 3 Paid Teacher In-Service Days
• 2 Paid Classroom Work Days
• Paid planning time & paid staff meetings
• Educational fund & scholarship assistance
• 401(k) with employer matching
• AFLAC & Wiser/Wesson Benefits
• Employee discounts & 50% off childcare
• Consistent hours — center open 7:00 AM–5:30 PM
• Supportive leadership with personal access to the Director

Come Find Your Place With Us.

If you’re looking for a center where you can build relationships, make a difference, have some variety in your day, and actually feel supported by leadership, we’d love to meet you.

You might come to Just for Me because you’re looking for a job...

You might stay because you found a place that feels like home.
