Pre-K & Play Academy is looking to hire an assistant teacher to work in our infant classroom. This is an entry level position and while previous experience is preferred, it is not required. The assistant teacher will provide quality care in balance with social and intellectual experiences under the direction of an experienced lead infant teacher.

Duties of the infant teacher include, but are not limited to: observing the infant to understand their developmental skill level, providing pre-planned experiences to help the child reach new milestones, feeding, diapering, and assisting with rest time.

Ideal candidates must have a High School Diploma or GED. At least one year of verifiable experience as teacher or assistant teacher in a center based child care setting is preferred but not required. Rate of pay is based on experience and education. Of note, Pre- K & Play Academy offers a very competitive bonus structure on top of base hourly pay. Employees are eligible for their first bonus by simply attending the in person interview on the originally scheduled date, and being on time. From there, another bonus is available for accepting the position within 24 hours of the offer, and a third is available for bringing in all paperwork necessary for hire on or prior to your first day of employment (list will be provided after offer is accepted.) We also offer bonuses based on attendance, positive feedback from families in your class, training completed and acquisition of advanced education (CDA, AA, etc).
