This includes implementing and adhering to YMCA safety procedures, as well as state and local codes, to create a secure environment where children can learn and grow with confidence. But safety is just the beginning. At the YMCA, we believe in nurturing the whole child - mind, body, and spirit. That's why you'll have the chance to engage in purposeful programming designed to meet the developmental needs of each child. Working alongside our lead teachers, you'll implement age-appropriate curricula that inspire curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning. Building positive relationships is at the heart of everything we do at the YMCA. As a Childcare Assistant Teacher, you'll have the opportunity to develop and maintain positive relationships with all the children in your care. By creating a supportive and inclusive environment, you'll help children feel valued, respected, and empowered to reach their full potential. In addition to working closely with children, you'll also have the opportunity to interact with YMCA families on a daily basis. By providing ongoing positive dialogue and support, you'll help build strong connections between families and our childcare program, fostering a sense of community and belonging for all. Continuing education is essential to our commitment to excellence at the YMCA. That's why we provide annual training opportunities for all our staff members, including Childcare Assistant Teachers.

As a Childcare Assistant Teacher, you'll play an active role in implementing these principles in your daily interactions with children, helping them develop the social and emotional skills they need to succeed in school and in life. In addition to your daily responsibilities, you'll also be responsible for completing opening and closing procedures as required, as well as accurately documenting any incidents or accidents that occur during your shift.
