Part-time child care team member is needed. Flexible hours. We need someone available for one to two days a week full days, as well as afternoons. This position has the opportunity to lead to a full time position for the right candidate.

We are looking for a person to join our small team! You must be 18 in order to work in this position.

We are looking for someone who is patient, creative, active, and motivated. Someone who enjoys reading childrens' books aloud. We are looking for someone with a calm and caring personality, but also someone who can enforce rules and safety. We want everyone to have fun!

We need someone who feels comfortable teaching our curriculum and can follow and nurture their interests. Everyone here is a teacher. We learn from our children and our children learn from us.
