Looking for a Early Childhood Educator in Cartersville, GA

Summary

1 Little Meal Community Childcare and Learning Center is seeking an individual who wants to be a part of a close-knit group. Our childcare center is a 501(c)3, nonprofit organization that provides free meals to the community and affordable housing to individuals. We launched a childcare learning center in downtown Cartersville for families (single, dual, and military). Our goal is to offer something "different" in Cartersville. We are a childcare center catering to children ages 6 weeks to 5 years in a home setting. 1LMCCLC staff is a small team of women who lead low-ratio classrooms (6-10 students). We offer a 5-day work week from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday-Friday. After probation, we offer 10 federal holidays, 5 days P-T-O, birthdays off, and professional scrubs for a unified appearance.

We are seeking new and seasoned individuals in the Early Childhood Education field, but we are open to employing those opting for a career change. To date, our teachers are from different backgrounds (one is from fast food and one is from retail, Walmart). 1LMCCLC seeks a passionate leader who wants to guide children during activities and learn basic skills.

We require an individual with a clean criminal background check, willingness to commit, patience, a desire to lead/follow, and a desire to love a classroom filled with cuties.

Our goal is to compensate based on education and experience. If you are between the ages of 15 to 80, contact us.
