Early Childhood Teacher

Kindercare Learning Centers
De Kalb, IL Full Time
POSTED ON 4/17/2024

Are you POSITIVE, WARM and CARING? Are you a CREATIVE problem solver?

Working with children is a CALLING and you know if you've been CALLED. It's the tickle in your gut when you see a toddler experience ice cream for the first time, the swell in your chest when you see a preschooler's surprise as they tie their own shoes, the unavoidable giggles that escape when a four-year-old pats your big belly and asks if your babies are in there (hahahaha), the smiles that flow when you are swarmed by two year olds wanting to give your legs a hug. YOU know those feelings. They are incredible!

We bring warmth, patience, and understanding to the classroom every day, encouraging children to learn and grow. We know that creating meaningful relationships with children, families, and our team play a crucial role in that success.

Check out the amazing things our teaching staff does:

  • We create a safe, nurturing environment where children can play and learn
  • We work with the COOLEST Creative Crew.
  • We partner with center staff/leadership to achieve goals around enrollment, accreditation, and engagement
  • We cultivate positive relationships with families, teachers, state licensing authorities, community contacts and corporate partners
  • We implement in a way that is consistent with the unique needs of each child
  • We even enjoy daily meals and snacks alongside the children
