Early Childhood Education - General Applicant Pool
Teacher job in Billings, MT
Ever found yourself giggling at a toddler's innocent logic or wishing you could hang out in a world full of finger paints and fairy tales?
Why not join our general applicant pool at THE SUNSHINE ACADEMY? 🌞 We will let you know when a position opens!
Think You've Got the Magic for an EARLY CHILDHOOD POSITION Role? Well, here's a hint:
Quick on your feet? Can you jump from the A-B-Cs to the 1-2-3s faster than a toddler chasing bubbles?
Ever looked at a child and thought: "I wonder what's going on in that adorable little head?" Well, you're not alone. Dive deep into the wonders of early childhood development with us!
Can you spot a toy about to be thrown or a spill waiting to happen? Predictive powers, unite! (No capes required).
Building relationships is your jam - whether it's with tiny humans, their parents, or fellow grown-ups. Heck, you'd probably make friends with the furniture if it talked back!
Do loud noises make you think, "Wow, that's some good energy right there!” rather than “Oh, my eardrums!”?
Not a fan of the phrase, “we've always done it that way”? Great! Neither are we. Bring that fresh perspective, and let's shake things up together - in a fun and constructive way, of course!
And if you've ever been told, “You've got integrity!” and wondered if it's just because you returned someone's pen once, well... you're just the kind of person we're looking for!
But, if your favorite pastime is sipping on some spicy gossip - this might not be your stage. We love drama - but only the kind that involves puppet shows!
Perks of Dancing in Our Sunshine:
Get paid during your dance breaks (aka Paid Holidays!)
Schooling for your kiddos? How about a friendly discount?
Need to sharpen those skills? We got you with Continuing Education Assistance.
Join the Montana Apprenticeship Program. (Nope, it's not a cowboy boot camp, but it's equally cool!)

We believe in pairing playtime with life's big lessons - making us the go-to place for budding Einsteins and Picassos.

Our doors - and tiny little hearts - are wide open.
