  • Maintain a cheerful, can-do attitude with children, parents, and colleagues (yes, even when someone spills glitter everywhere!).
  • Gently guide children toward positive behavior choices using techniques like FLIP IT and Second Step.
  • Observe, document, and celebrate each child’s progress, sharing their victories (big and small) with proud parents.
  • Keep parents in the loop with updates and celebrate their children’s achievements. Invite them to Family/Teacher Conferences where you’ll team up to help their child shine bright!
Your Special Skills & Qualities
  • Required: AA/AS in Early Childhood Education or related field with 18 ECE credits.
  • At least two years' experience with preschoolers in an educational setting.
  • Excellent communication skills for engaging with parents/guardians.
  • Ability to maintain high level standards of confidentiality regarding center, staff, and family matters.
  • Understanding of DHS licensing, Keystone Stars, and accreditation standards.
  • Proficient in managing a multicultural classroom environment.
Wellbeing Perks
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
  • Employer paid basic life insurance, short-term and long-term disability insurance.
  • Health Savings Account with employer contribution
  • Accident, Illness/Cancer, and Whole Life Insurance
Time to Recharge

  • Employee childcare tuition discount
  • College tuition discount
  • Pet Insurance discount
