Lead Younger Toddler Teacher

Our Children's House is a 5-star accredited nonprofit daycare that provides a multi-age, learning experience for children ages 1-5. We are currently seeking a Full Time Lead Teacher to join our team. OCH provides a home-like atmosphere in which children and adults can identify as extended family. Multi-age grouping allows students to learn and play with each other. Toddlers learn skills from being with older preschoolers while the older children learn to lead as role models. With a lower child to teacher ratio, we are able to provide special attention and ensure the healthy development of our children. Additionally, Our Children's House is unique because it is a parent-led cooperative which fosters a strong communal relationship. Our center is proud to have an impressive history of teacher and staff longevity.
