• Communicate positively with parents, coworkers, and leadership.
• Maintain a clean, organized classroom and follow childcare safety guidelines.

Qualifications

• Experience working with preschool-aged children.
• Strong classroom management and communication skills.
• A caring, patient, and dependable personality.
• Ability to support and uphold our center's Christian mission and values.
• CPR/First Aid certification preferred, or willingness to obtain.
• Early childhood education experience or credentials preferred.

Why Join Our Team?

We are more than a childcare center. We are a ministry dedicated to supporting children, families, and our community. If you have a heart for children, enjoy teaching, and want your work to have a greater purpose, we would love to hear from you!
