Love little kids? Make it your job.

The Cornelia Day Child Care Center at the YMCA of Washington County is looking for caring, energetic people to join our team working with infants, toddlers and preschoolers (birth–age 4).

What will you actually do?

Build relationships with infants, toddlers and preschoolers
Help children learn through play and exploration
Support important developmental milestones
Create a classroom where children feel safe, cared for and included
Build relationships with parents and families
Be one of the people who makes a lasting difference in a child's life

And here's a BIG perk: your evenings and weekends are YOURS.

A job where what you do matters

Think you need years of experience? You don't.

Experience in child care or early childhood education is preferred, but we're also interested in people who are dependable, patient, caring and excited to learn.

A high school diploma or equivalent is required, and applicants must successfully complete the required background check before employment.

If you're considering a career in education, early childhood, social work, psychology, nursing, recreation or another people-focused field, this is an opportunity to gain hands-on experience while making a difference right here in your community.

Your first job can be more than just a paycheck.

Come grow with us at the Cornelia Day Child Care Center.
