Full Job Description

Are you a thoughtful, nurturing educator who believes in the power of early childhood experiences? At Discovery Children’s Center, we believe that care and mutual respect aren’t just for children—they define how we work together. We’re a nonprofit center offering full benefits, competitive pay and a workplace rooted in trust, collaboration and joy.

About Discovery Children’s Center

DCC has been part of the Dogtown neighborhood for over 40 years. We’re a nonprofit early childhood center rooted in care, mutual respect, and a play-based, child-led approach to learning. But what truly defines DCC is our community—where children and adults grow alongside each other in a culture of honesty, curiosity and connection.

We value the importance of building strong relationships, promoting a sense of belonging, and celebrating the unique qualities of each child and each staff member. Our team is made up of dedicated professionals who support one another, co-learn with children, and share a passion for making a lasting impact in young lives. This is a place where your presence matters and where the work you do every day genuinely makes a difference.

About the Role: Lead Teacher (Full-Time)

We’re seeking a passionate, experienced early childhood educator to co-lead a classroom of young children through curiosity-driven learning, creative exploration and authentic connection. You’ll collaborate closely with fellow teachers and families to create a dynamic, inclusive classroom rooted in developmental best practices and Discovery’s core values.

· Contribute to a culture of co-learning and mutual respect among children and staff

· Maintain a safe, organized, developmentally appropriate learning environment

· Mentor or support assistant teachers and contribute to ongoing team development

· Work closely with your co-teacher to adapt plans fluidly based on classroom needs

· Participate in regular team meetings with a problem-solving, collaborative mindset

At least 2 years of experience in early childhood education
Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood, Child Development, or related field (preferred)

· A warm, professional demeanor with a genuine passion for nurturing children

· The ability to be highly flexible—responsive to children’s needs, team dynamics, and evolving classroom rhythms

· Comfortable working in a collaborative, co-teaching environment

· Strong communication skills—with children, peers, and parents alike

· A self-starter who brings confidence, poise, and attention to detail

· Must pass Family Care Safety Registry and fingerprinting background checks

· Physical ability to engage with young children at their level and lift up to 50 lbs

Our full-time team members receive:

· Competitive pay: $18–$20/hour to start, based on education and experience
