What You'll Do
As an Assistant Teacher, you'll partner with Lead Teachers and center leadership to create classrooms where children can safely play, learn, explore, and grow.
You'll:
Be an active part of the classroom. Engage with children during learning activities, play, meals, transitions, outdoor time, and daily routines.
Support our L.E.A.P. Curriculum® by helping teachers create fun, developmentally appropriate learning experiences for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.
Keep children safe. Practice active supervision and help maintain a clean, organized, nurturing classroom environment.
Help with everyday care. Depending on the age group, this may include feeding, diapering, toileting, dressing, soothing, and other daily care routines.
Build relationships. Get to know the children in your care and help create a classroom where every child feels welcomed and supported.
Connect with families. Support positive, professional communication with parents and caregivers about their child's day.
Be a great teammate. Work collaboratively with teachers and leadership, communicate openly, accept feedback, and jump in where you're needed.
Keep growing. Participate in training and professional development while building your skills as an early childhood educator.
You Might Be a Great Fit If...
You don't need to know everything on Day One. We can teach skills. We're looking for the right attitude, reliability, and genuine desire to work with children.
Our ideal candidate:
Is at least 18 years old
Has a High School Diploma or GED
Has previous childcare experience or a genuine interest in building a career in early childhood education

This Is a Hands-On Job
Working with young children means you're rarely sitting on the sidelines. You'll be playing on the floor, helping little hands, cleaning up spills, singing songs, heading outside, comforting big feelings, and probably hearing the same story more than once. That's part of the fun.
Essential responsibilities may include:
Feeding, diapering, dressing, grooming, and assisting with toileting
Cleaning and sanitizing classroom materials and spaces
Actively supervising children by both sight and sound
Standing and walking for extended periods
Safely lifting and carrying up to 40 pounds
Reaching and stretching with hands and arms
Stooping, kneeling, crouching, crawling, and getting up and down from the floor
Climbing or balancing when required for job duties
Using a stool or ladder when necessary
Participating in outdoor activities throughout the year, with temperatures potentially ranging from approximately 20°F with wind chill to 95°F
Maintaining the physical and mental alertness necessary for active supervision
The physical demands described above are representative of those required to successfully perform the essential functions of this position.
Reasonable accommodations may be made in accordance with applicable law.
