Not every preschool is the same! At Under the Magic Pine Tree, we believe children are capable, educators are professionals, and learning happens through relationships, curiosity, and thoughtful environments.

We're looking for someone who wants more than "just a childcare job." We're looking for someone who enjoys being wherever they're needed—supporting classrooms, helping children feel safe and connected, encouraging teachers, and contributing to a calm, joyful school culture.

You don't need years of experience. You do need to be dependable, kind, eager to learn, and excited to grow alongside a team that believes great teaching is something we develop together.

What You’ll Do

Every day is a little different, which is exactly what makes this position so important.

You might:

• Support children in classrooms from infants through preschool
• Help teachers create calm, engaging learning environments
• Cover lunches and breaks
• Step into classrooms that need an extra set of hands
• Build relationships with children, families, and coworkers
• Help keep our school running smoothly so every classroom can thrive

You won't simply be filling in. You'll be an essential part of the team.

You’ll Thrive Here If You...

• Show up consistently and on time
• Stay calm when things get busy
• Love building relationships with children
• Enjoy helping wherever you're needed
• Are willing to learn and accept coaching
• Believe every child deserves to be treated with respect
• Want a career where you can continue growing professionally

What Makes Us Different

We are a Reggio-inspired early learning school where teachers are learners too.

That means you'll receive:

• Ongoing coaching and mentorship
• Paid professional development
• Opportunities for advancement
• Beautiful, thoughtfully designed classrooms
• A supportive team that believes in continuous learning
• A workplace where your ideas and growth matter

Many of our leaders began in support positions. We believe in growing great educators from within.

Requirements

• Must be at least 18 years old
• Reliable transportation
• Ability to lift up to 40 pounds
• Able to pass background check and meet Nevada licensing requirements
• Experience is welcomed but not required—we're happy to train the right person.

Grow Your Career With Us

We believe great educators are developed, not simply hired.

Qualified team members have the opportunity to participate in our paid Registered Apprenticeship Program, where you'll receive structured mentorship, professional development, and a clear pathway for advancement into Lead Teacher, Mentor Teacher, and leadership roles.

Join Our Team!

If you're looking for a place to grow—not just a place to work—we'd love to meet you.

Apply today and discover what it feels like to be part of a school where children—and educators—are truly seen as capable.
