Now Hiring; join our team before the summer rush!

As an assistant teacher you can help to set the foundation for our future. Work within a company that has been voted by their employees for multiple years as an employer of choice.

We are a family-owned center who still has a long, and growing, list of benefits and an owner who knows and is involved in current early childhood education who you will interact with often.

Every weekday, from the minute you step into the classroom you’ll be greeted with smiles and hugs and until the moment you walk out you will be building strong relationships with not only the children but families as well. And on the weekends and evenings? That’s your time! Recharge, relax, have your own fun (and maybe with a coworker who has become a friend).
