  • Serve as a vital member of the SproutFive team
  • Have the opportunity to innovate in the field of early education and child care

  • Developing lesson plans and activities that support the development of each child's cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development
  • Managing your classroom collaboratively with your co-teachers in such a way that you are actively engaging in activities and manage cleanliness, maintenance, and availability of classroom materials
  • Maintaining frequent communications with families through informal discussions and progress reports
  • Connecting families to opportunities and supports in SproutFives Family Resource Center
  • Mentoring student teachers, fellows, and other professionals as they learn from you and your co-teachers best practices in early education and child care
  • Developing and participating in new ideas and innovative teaching practices through programs like the Playspace grant program
  • Maintaining a personal, professional development plan to ensure continuous quality improvement
  • Adhering to all school policies and state regulations
Were excited about you because:
  • You have completed at least a CDA (Child Development Associates), if not an Associates, Bachelor's, or Masters Degree in a related field
  • You are an expert in your understanding of child development
  • You have some professional child care experience at a highly rated Step Up To Quality or NAEYC accredited program
  • You are excited to work alongside your co-teachers and are a team player
  • You have strong oral and written communication skills and basic computer skills
  • You are excited to continue your training and are willing to participate in professional development and training
  • You can meet all state requirements for working in early education, including being able to clear a full background check and pass health screenings
You will love working with us because:
  • We offer progressive, employee-centered benefits and invest in our team
  • We empower team members to be autonomous and provide a collaborative environment where you get support and healthy feedback
  • We encourage our team to bring their authentic selves to work every day and are encouraged to help others do the same
  • We are working to uplift and champion families across the state of Ohio and beyond
  • We are unapologetic in supporting those who support our children
