Job description

Tiny Human Leaders Wanted!

We are looking for tiny human leaders (A.K.A. Lead Preschool Teachers) to work in our 4/5 year old classroom in Waterloo. Don't have much experience but love children? We offer paid training!

Have children you would like to bring with you while you work? We offer discounted child care and competitive wages!

Primary Responsibilities:

• The ability to rapidly count the heads of numerous moving small people is of the utmost importance.
• The ability to receive hugs from each child in the class... all at once (while also managing the feelings of the kiddo who didn't get to hug you first).
• You must be able to laugh at jokes that you don't understand, or don't find funny. Child humor can be a confusing minefield to navigate.
• Simultaneously be able to sing songs, help clean up toys, hand out snacks, and help a child draw on the paper (instead of the wall).

Think you can do that? Well then...read on

We believe that our staff are professionals, so they are paid competitive wages, flexible schedules and excellent benefits.

While a passion for teaching children is a necessity, we do have a few more requirements for you to join the CUCCC team

Desired Skills and Qualifications:

• Previous experience working in a licensed early childhood program is a must.
• Must be willing to learn and appreciate our core values which are: providing care to children in a warm and nurturing environment while meeting the social emotional and educational needs of the children.
• Must be willing to obtain training in CPR/First Aid, mandatory child abuse reporter, Universal Precautions and Essentials in Child Care within the first 90 days of employment.
• Degree in Early Childhood Education preferred but not necessary
