Wanted: Early Childhood Educator or Para-professional Teacher I or II
We Kare-A-Lot has been around since May 1990 and has been a staple in our community providing parents with worry-free childcare and a place where children can be themselves and grow to their best ability. In this position we are looking for a person to join our team that wants to make a positive impact on the families and the children we serve through fostering growth and childhood wonder. Our teachers view their positions as a calling to the cause of raising and fostering children. Our teachers want to make a difference in a child's life while their parents are able to do what’s needed for their family without worry. If you want to join a positive, dedicated, and fulfilling team that makes a difference in every family and child's life we work, then come join our team.
General Job Duties include, but are not limited to:
· Supervise classroom
· Supervise playground
· Implement sanitation protocols in classroom, bathroom, and with children
· Diaper changes/bathroom help
· Help with meals
· Help with naps
· Leading physical education/activities
· Leading art/science/craft activities
· Leading teaching/learning activities
· Help parents with drop-off and pick-up
Because this position is centered around children, it is full of the joy that children bring, and it is also demanding because children need consistency, instruction, attention, and physical play. This position does not allow for our own insecurities, problems, or heartaches to be felt, witnessed, or heard by the children, so it is important that an applicant be able to leave their “baggage” at the door, so to say.
