    Training & development

    At The Red Barn Child Care Center & Preschool, we don’t settle for “just getting through the day.” We build classrooms that are calm, structured, engaging, and intentionally run. Our families trust us deeply—and we protect that trust through high standards, consistency, and professionalism.

    What You’ll Be Responsible For

    This role is for someone who understands that great classrooms don’t happen by accident.

    You will:

    Create and maintain a structured, well-managed classroom environment

    Lead children with calm authority, warmth, and consistency

    Implement engaging, age-appropriate learning experiences (not just “activities to pass time”)

    Maintain active supervision and safety awareness at all times

    Communicate professionally with families—clear, respectful, and timely

    Work as part of a team that holds each other accountable

    What We Expect (Non-Negotiables)

    You are reliable—your team can count on you

    You are proactive—you don’t wait to be told what to do

    You are professional—in how you speak, show up, and handle stress

    You can manage a classroom, not just assist in one

    You are coachable and open to feedback without defensiveness

    You understand that this work is important—and requires effort

    This Is NOT For You If…

    You are looking for an “easy” job or something low-effort

    You frequently call out, show up late, or struggle with consistency

    You prefer to be told exactly what to do instead of taking initiative

    You get overwhelmed easily in fast-paced environments

    You are not open to feedback or growth

    You see childcare as babysitting instead of professional work

    This IS For You If…

    You take pride in running a tight, well-managed classroom

    You want to be part of a strong, respected center with high standards

    You value structure, teamwork, and doing things the right way

    You want to grow as an educator, not stay stagnant

    You care deeply about how children are treated and guided

    Experience working with children in a childcare, preschool, or educational setting

    Strong classroom management and communication skills

    Ability to meet all state licensing requirements (background check, physical, drug screening etc.)

    What You Can Expect From Us
