Child Care Teacher

Throughout the last 50 years, (we were established in 1972 by Mr. Gene Little), Little Tyke has remained committed to developing a culture where our children, families, and faculty are nurtured, loved, and educated in a stable, safe, and caring environment. We are still a family-owned and operated company today, with Mr. Alex Little, Gene Little's son, and his wife, Brandy Little, carrying on our traditions and commitment to excellence, all while evolving to meet the needs of today's families and our employees. We pride ourselves in our family-centered approach, where everyone who enters our doors becomes a part of the Little Tyke Family Legacy. We extend this invitation to you to join the Little Tyke family today!

We are looking for teachers who can cultivate positive relationships with our families, children, colleagues, and administrative staff. We are dedicated to guiding our teachers to further their education through continued training and support. We believe in promoting from within and want to see our teachers grow and flourish in this profession. If you are looking for more than "just another job", you are looking at the right company. We value our employees and work to create the most positive experience for all who play a role in our success.
