• Follow all Pre-K Preparatory Learning Academy policies and applicable Georgia childcare licensing requirements
• Participate in required training, staff meetings, and professional development

Requirements

• Strong oral and written communication skills and basic computer skills.
• High energy and the ability to work well with others (staff, children, and parents) and to foster a team environment.
