Description du poste

If you have joy to share, contact us! All of our jobs are Monday through Friday, between the hours of 6:45 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. No nights or weekends!

We are looking for caring and hard-working individuals to assist in supervising children, cultivate their social and emotional development, facilitate developmentally appropriate activities in a safe and nurturing environment, care for the whole child, including diapering and assisting with toileting as needed, and support our commitment to meeting the individual needs of each child and their family.

Another opportunity is a split shift, meaning the Assistant Teacher is responsible to greet the children as they arrive, work with them in the morning, and then return in the afternoon to happily see the children through the end of their day and close the classroom. This position is a full-time, 8-hour shift, but we would consider part time split shift as well. Those who do a split shift receive an additional $1.00 per hour on top of their regular hourly wage.

Candidates should be at least 18, have a high school diploma or equivalent and have at least two years of documented experience working with children. (in addition to child care center experience, valid experience can include but is not limited to volunteering, coaching, tutoring, babysitting, and/or lifeguarding.) Caring for your own children does not count per PA regulations.

The Growing Place Child Care Centers are Keystone STAR Four rated, which is the highest quality in PA. All three of our centers are NAEYC-accredited as well. Teamwork is very important in our organization, where we serve approximately 350 children, from eight weeks to 12 years old, in three large centers.
