Part-Time & Full-Time Positions Available

You became a teacher because you believe in what happens when a child feels seen, safe, and supported. You didn't sign up for fluorescent lights and clock-watching — you signed up for the magic. The giggles. The "I did it!" moments. The tiny hand that reaches for yours on a tough morning.

Create joyful, hands-on learning experiences that help little ones grow into confident, curious kids. Build real relationships with families who trust you with their most precious people. Be part of a team that supports each other, celebrates wins, and never lets you figure it out alone.

You'll plan engaging lessons, nurture social-emotional development, keep children safe and thriving, and communicate with parents like the partner you are in their child's journey.

What We're Looking For:

• Associate's degree in Early Childhood Education (or related field) — OR 5+ years of experience working with young children
• NC Early Childhood Credential preferred (not required to apply)
• A genuine love for early childhood education — not just a job, but a calling
• Warmth, patience, reliability, and the ability to stay calm when someone spills paint on your shoes

What You'll Get:

• Competitive pay based on experience and credentials
• Transportation assistance available — we'll help you get here
• A leadership team that listens, supports, and invests in your growth
• A workplace culture built on respect, collaboration, and doing right by children and families
