Toddler Teacher

We are seeking Toddler Teachers to care, play with and love our energetic toddlers! No experience needed - all staff will be provided with necessary training. We are looking for candidates with a willingness to learn, work hard, and will stay dedicated to the students and mission.

JLU gives quality care to our students and our employees. Our employees stay an average of four years because they are appreciated and supported both professionally and personally, and find comfort in being a member of the JLU family.

Professionally, our employees enjoy compensation that's competitive in the childcare industry and receive several raises each year. They enjoy a strong benefits package including generous paid time off, health care, matching retirement funds. JLU loves to support and encourage professional development and gives all employees the opportunity to achieve a Child Development Associate degree at no cost and during work hours. Teachers also appreciate a well-stocked center, with classroom materials and supplies provided with no out-of-pocket cost.

Personally, we are a family. JLU staff most love that they have a supportive Christian network of coworkers who a are there to encourage one another, build each other up and lift you up in prayer.
