Helping Hands Family Childcare is a play-based, family-focused program known for its intentionally small classrooms, low teacher–child ratios, and team culture built on respect, communication, and unity. We believe children learn best through curiosity, hands-on exploration, and meaningful relationships, and we extend the same support to the adults who serve them.
We are seeking a Lead Teacher Assistant Intern who is dependable, teachable, and passionate about supporting young children. This position is ideal for someone seeking hands-on experience, clear guidance, coaching, and professional growth in early childhood education. Whether you’re beginning your career or returning to the workforce, we provide a structured, encouraging environment that helps you thrive.
