Job Description

Do you believe that every child deserves a strong start, no matter their zip code? Are you ready to be a steady, nurturing presence for preschoolers navigating big emotions and big milestones?

You'll work side-by-side with a lead teacher to create a safe, joyful, and structured classroom where every child can learn and thrive.

  • Assist with classroom setup, cleanliness, safety, and behavior management
  • Keep up with documentation such as attendance, meal counts, and developmental observations
  • Partner with families by communicating progress and celebrating growth

You'll also help track supplies, write newsletter content, substitute for the Lead Teacher as needed, and participate in ongoing training and development.


You'll Thrive Here If You:

  • Love working with preschool-age children, especially those facing adversity
  • Stay calm and caring in moments of chaos, using structure and patience to support young learners
  • Believe in equitable early education and understand the long-term impact of kindergarten readiness
  • Can follow and implement lesson plans, learning standards, and routines with consistencу
  • Are a team player and flexible enough to jump in wherever needed

What You'll Need

Minimum Requirements:

  • CDA (Child Development Associate Credential) or currently enrolled in a CDA program (must complete within 1 year)
  • Two years of full-time experience with children ages 0-5
  • Ability to lift 50 lbs and engage physically with children (kneel, squat, reach, etc.)
  • Valid First Aid/CPR, Communicable Disease, and Child Abuse training (or ability to obtain)
  • Familiarity with ODJFS licensing standards

Preferred:

  • Associate's Degree or 12+ credit hours in Early Childhood Education
  • 3+ years of early childhood experience, including behavioral support strategies
