The Bob and Billie Ray Child Development Center offers an inclusive environment where children with and without disabilities can learn and thrive together.

In addition to the rewarding experience of working in this distinctive setting, our Child Development Center participates in T.E.A.C.H.

Additionally, we are looking for a lead teacher with an early childhood education degree or significant experience to work across various age groups.

The starting wage for this position is $14.75 per hour, increasing to $15.00 per hour following a successful 90-day orientation period.

Benefits include:

  • Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, and employer-paid life insurance, as well as long-term disability insurance and a 403(b) Tax Deferred Retirement Plan for all full-time employees.
  • 20 days of paid time off (PTO) in the first year, increasing to 25 days in the second year, with an expectation for employees to utilize their time off.
  • An additional 8 paid holidays each year.
  • A culture that emphasizes internal promotions for career advancement.
  • A collaborative and adaptable team environment.

The application process involves an initial phone interview with the Recruitment and Talent Development Coordinator, followed by a second interview with the Department Specifics Team Leader.
