Portland, United States ChildRoots Full time
Job DescriptionJob Description

ChildRoots is a small family of locally- and woman-owned childcare centers in Portland, Oregon. We see children as authentic, powerful individuals, and our mission is to guide their social and emotional development and to foster a sense of wonder about the world around them. Our awe-inspiring classrooms are child-focused and designed to provoke curiosity and encourage inquiry, but it’s our Teachers and support staff who make ChildRoots truly outstanding. 

We’re currently recruiting Teachers.

These roles require applicants to be enrolled in the Central Background Registry and teacher-qualified, which means you’ve worked in a structured child care environment long enough and/or taken enough college-level courses in early childhood education-related subjects to meet the Office of Child Care requirements. 

A ChildRoots Teacher works 8 hours per day, Monday – Friday, offering primary care for 4 -10 children.  A cornerstone of our educational philosophy is a strong, consistent bond between child and caregiver, so we encourage Teachers to commit to their cohort of children for a year or more.  Apart from the joy and emotional satisfaction of committing to a classroom, we incentivize long-term commitments with annual bonuses.

Since we opened our first school in 2007, we’ve continually adapted our compensation strategy and learned that prospective and current employees alike value fair, predictable compensation. So, all ChildRoots Teachers start at $20.00+ / hour, and are eligible for standardized annual raises, and long-term commitment bonuses.  Some Portland-area centers offer higher starting wages for Lead Teachers but lower starting wages for Assistant Teachers, whereas we’re committed to a co-teaching model in which all Teachers start at the same rate and share teaching responsibilities.  When you receive a ChildRoots job offer, you won’t have to negotiate your wage or wonder how your offer compares to others’. 

WOULD YOU LIKE TO WORK WITH US?

Please explore our website to learn more about us and our values, and take a virtual tour of our facilities.

We look forward to receiving your application.

Thank you, and stay well

To work with us, you must be teacher-qualified and currently enrolled in Oregon's Central Background Registry.

These easy, online trainings are required within 30 days of hire:

  • Introduction to Child Care Health & Safety online course
  • Recognizing & Reporting Child Abuse & Neglect online course

  • Safe Sleep for Oregon's Infants online course

The challenges of COVID reminded us how vital it is to center our employees’ well-being. We know we still have much to do to be the BEST place to work in child care in Portland, but that’s what we’re working toward.

All employees are eligible for:

  • 1-3 weeks of Paid Time Off per year, depending on how long they've been with ChildRoots.
  • 25 paid holidays and all-school days off
  • Company-provided continuing education

Full-time employees are eligible to enroll in our insurance plans, including:

We're a pro-vaccination community and require all employees and enrolled parents to be fully vaccinated against COVID. We still practice extraordinary safety protocols like daily health checks, masks, stable groups, and extra cleaning, and will do so for as long as it takes to keep our community safe.

Thank you for your consideration. We hope to hear from you
