WORKING AT OUR CENTER:
We see ourselves as teachers, educators, and leaders and believe we have one of the most important jobs in the world! Serving and disciplining the future generation! We provide care for children ages 6 weeks up to 12 years old, Monday through Friday, from 6:30 AM- 6:00 PM. We are one of the highest-rated childcare providers on Google in Boise! Our teachers base their monthly lesson plans on a preschool curriculum called ABC Jesus Loves Me, which is designed for ages 2-5. Teachers are encouraged to plan field trips whenever possible to support learning, request supplies needed for classroom and curriculum purposes, and participate in the annual Christmas Program! Schedules can be flexible, and we offer both full-time and part-time positions. Each new hire is taken through a training process to familiarize them with working at our center and welcome them to the team. But we don't stop there! We provide ongoing daily support to all of our teachers, and we are there for you to collaborate, brainstorm, and set goals to take you to the next level of your career!
OUR CULTURE:
We are dedicated to supporting our teachers financially, personally, and professionally! We welcome input from our entire team and look to build a better center as a team. Every member is appreciated for their hard work and contributions, and each member is recognized for their strengths and dedication to serving our families. We love to celebrate victories together and provide each other with support in challenging times. We strive to operate daily, in every way, on our CORE VALUES of Faith, Family, Passion, Excellence, and Kindness.
