Carrers Start Here!

Futures start here. Where first steps, new friendships, and confident learners are born. At KinderCare Learning Companies, the first and only early childhood education provider recognized with the Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award, we offer a variety of early education and childcare options for families. We pave the way for their lifelong learning journey ahead. And we want you to join us in shaping a future we can all be proud to share—in neighborhoods, at work, and in schools nationwide.

Our teachers, center staff, and field leaders are the heart and soul of our business. When you join us, you’ll be directly supporting children and their education every day and experiencing the trials and triumphs that come with that responsibility. But you’ll never be alone. You’ll do it all with a village of dedicated and passionate humans who care as much about helping kids reach their highest potential as you do. The best part? Seeing the positive impact, you’re making on the lives of young learners and their families—and knowing that your work matters.

When you join our team as a teacher, you will…

  • Implement KinderCare’s curriculum to meet children’s unique needs.
  • Create a safe, nurturing environment where children can play and learn.
  • Partner and connect with parents to provide the best care and education for their children.
  • Collaborate for center success with staff and leadership to achieve enrollment, accreditation, and engagement goals.
  • Cultivate positive relationships with families, teachers, state licensing authorities, community contacts and corporate partners.

Qualifications:

  • Outstanding customer service skills, strong organizational skills, and the ability to multi-task
  • CPR and First Aid Certification or willingness to obtain.
  • Meet state specific qualifications:
  • Active Child Development Associate (CDA) Credential (or willing to obtain)
  • Physically able to use a computer with basic proficiency, lift a minimum of 40 pounds, and work indoors or outdoors
  • Able to assume postures in low levels to allow physical and visual contact with children, see and hear well enough to keep children safe, and engage in physical activity with children
  • Read, write, understand, and speak English to communicate with children and their parents in English

Benefits:

Our benefits meet you where you are. We’re here to help our employees navigate the integration of work and life:

  • Investing in you is an investment in our future:
  • Robust tenure-based pay model that begins at 1 year of service for qualified individuals
  • Discounted child care benefits
  • Medical, dental, and vision benefits for your family (pets, too!)
  • Mental health and personal growth with employee assistance programs
  • Health and wellness programs, paid time off and discounts for work necessities, such as cell phones. And so much more!

We operate research-backed, accredited, and customizable programs in more than 2,000 sites and centers across 40 states and the District of Columbia. As we expand, we’re matching the needs of more and more families, dynamic work environments, and diverse communities from coast to coast. Because we believe every family deserves access to high-quality child care, no matter who they are or where they live. Every day, you’ll help bring this mission to life by building community and delivering exceptional experiences. And if you’re anything like us, you’ll come for the work, and stay for the people.
