• Observe, document, and celebrate each child’s progress, sharing their victories (big and small) with proud parents.

• Understanding of DHS licensing, Keystone Stars, and accreditation standards.
• Proficient in managing a multicultural classroom environment.

Work Schedule

• 25 hours per week
• 7:00 AM – 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM
