  • Growth Opportunities: Career advancement pathways as we expand our mission and programs.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive Salary: $50,000-$54,000 per year, based on education and experience.
  • Bonuses:
    • $1,000 sign-on bonus after the probationary period

    • 9 paid holidays
  • Benefits for Full-Time Employees:
    • Health, dental, and vision insurance, along with short- and long-term disability insurance
    • 3% employer match to Simple IRA

Who We're Looking For:

  • Reliable, professional, and eager to learn
  • Completed associate or bachelor's degree in early childhood education, or closely related field.
  • Committed to high standards in early childhood education
  • Wisconsin Registry Certificate required (we will assist qualified candidates in obtaining certification during the hiring process)
