The Village Childcare is looking for caring, dependable, and enthusiastic Teachers and Teacher Aides to join our growing team!

We operate multiple early childhood programs throughout Warwick, serving children from infancy through preschool.

Whether you have years of classroom experience or are looking to grow your career in early childhood education, we would love to hear from you!

• Provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children.
• Support daily classroom routines, including meals, diapering, toileting, rest time, and age-appropriate activities.
• Assist with implementing developmentally appropriate learning experiences that encourage social, emotional, physical, and cognitive growth.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and welcoming classroom.
• Supervise children while maintaining appropriate staff-to-child ratios and following all safety procedures.
