Would you like to make a difference in a child's life?
Jeremiah's Place cares for young children and supports families during a crisis. Our families leave a mark on our hearts and minds, and we hope to do the same for them.
If you're passionate about helping others and working in a supportive, welcoming, and empathic environment, we would love to talk to you about joining our team.
Therapeutic Childcare Staff: Weekday Therapeutic Childcare team members work Monday through Thursday from 7 am to 5 pm, providing a safe, developmentally appropriate therapeutic environment to minimize the adverse effects of stressful situations or traumatic experiences for children in crisis. They are responsible for managing the care provided to children visiting our short-term emergency childcare center. Children visiting Jeremiah’s Place may have complex backgrounds and experiences, so staff need to understand the effects of trauma on child development. Therapeutic childcare team members are responsible for providing an enriching environment by implementing S.T.E.A.M.-Based curriculum throughout our daily schedule and adapting activities to developmental stages.
