Competitive compensation tells you that you’re valued. Full-time employees receive health benefits that offer a safety net. You can access dental and supplemental insurances, and life insurance after at least 3 years of employment.

Paid Time Off For A Personal Reboot

Enjoy paid time off on major holidays for a well-deserved recharge. Full-time employees receive vacation and sick leave as well as time off for doctor’s appointments and family leave to care for a loved one. PTO accrues based on the employee’s length of service.

Professional Training For Career Expertise

Enjoy paid team and staff meetings, professional days, teacher planning time, and Child Care Credential support. Ongoing annual training gives you an edge, so you can grow your knowledge base and benefit the children in your care–not to mention your resume.
