About the Role

As a Teacher at our facility, you will play a vital role in the positive development of children ranging from 6 weeks to 12 years of age. You will partner with Lead Teachers to plan, direct, and coordinate both academic and non-academic activities tailored to the needs of all ages and classrooms. Your day will involve greeting parents and children during drop-off and pick-up, while also ensuring a clean and safe environment through daily tasks such as diapering, potty training, laundry, and cleaning toys and surfaces.

You will be responsible for helping teach and carry out learning objectives while strictly maintaining state-mandated child-to-staff ratios and complying with all state, federal, and accreditation regulations. This role requires the ability to perform effectively in high-volume, stressful situations, such as morning drop-offs and afternoon pick-ups.
