• Build warm, trusting relationships with children and families.
• Actively supervise children and make their safety your first priority.
• Engage children in age-appropriate play, learning, and conversation.
• Support daily routines, including meals, diapering, toileting, and rest.
• Use patience, positive guidance, and encouragement.

Schedule and Availability

Our center is open Monday through Friday, 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. This role requires availability to work scheduled shifts within that window, with flexibility to support classroom needs. You would work an assigned shift—not the full operating day.

If you bring patience, energy, professionalism, and a commitment to doing your best for children each day, we encourage you to apply.
