Evergreen Learning Center is looking for dependable, caring, and energetic Child Care Educators to join our team! We are currently hiring for classroom teacher and floater positions.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for educators who are reliable, positive, patient, and actively involved with the children. Our ideal team member isn't someone who simply supervises a classroom. We want educators who interact with the children, play with them, teach them, comfort them, and help create an environment where they feel safe, supported, and excited to learn.

If you are passionate about working with children and want to be part of a growing early childhood program, we would love to hear from you!
