Daycare Substitute Teacher

Academy Kids DayCare is looking for a Substitute Teacher

Why we exist

Best Day Ever is our focus and goal. Best Day Ever is the idea that we can have our Best Day Ever within the context of whatever life brings you. Our goal is to help our staff members, parents, and kids (when they’re 35) all find their Best Day Ever!

Who we are
Parents need to work to be able to provide for their families. But while they are at work, they worry about their child’s development and happiness. On top of it all, quality daycares cost so much that almost all of their work income goes back to childcare.

It is our mission to partner with 60 families by offering excellent and affordable early childcare and education that doesn’t break the bank, because parents need to work but the early years are the foundation to raising amazing adults.

What you’ll be doing
Substitute teachers keep the center efficient and exceptional. Life happens, and sometimes a Lead Teacher or Floater gets sick. Substitutes have the flexibility to jump into any classroom and the heart to invest into every child when there is a need.

We smile. We grow. We encourage.

You will be responsible for…

• Meeting the needs of the children individually, and the classroom as a whole.
• Carrying out lesson plans set by Lead Teachers, and supplemental activities to meet the spiritual, physical, emotional, intellectual and social needs of the child.
