Join our family! Our desire at Creative Child Care Center is for all our children to learn, play, and grow in a safe and loving environment. Our core values are Kids First, Growth, Fun, & Relationships. If you love children and are looking to join a FAMILY not just a job!
Creative Child Care Center has a preschool teacher position available for the right person. We are looking for an experienced teacher who loves ages 3 and 4. We are open from 7:00am-5:30pm. This is a full time position.

The ideal candidate will be dependable, hard-working, creative, positive, a team player, and most importantly, love children.
You must be able to sing “Let it Go”, “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”, and any other songs requested by your kiddos. Your tune is not important :), your performance is everything!
You must be able to identify and remember the names of 15+ kids, parents, grandparents, blankies, coats, socks, hair bows, and any other item that has ever walked in your classroom instantly and know the location. Don’t worry we know this is not something you will be able to do on day one, day two however is another story.
You must also be prepared to laugh, love, and learn more about children than you ever have. Children are a joy, but you must be prepared to accept the challenges and benefits this job has to offer. Yes, you will have many days where you go home utterly exhausted, but you can’t wait to go the next day and try that amazing Pinterest project you found about Minions, because of course Minions is all the rage in your class. If you are ready to join a winning team where we laugh, have fun, and kick drama out the door, come see us! We can’t wait to meet you.
