Hutch Kids Early Learning Center provides education and care for infants, toddlers, and preschool‑aged children. We are seeking candidates for the position of Support Teacher. At Hutch Kids, we construct a child‑centered, developmentally appropriate, emergent curriculum that encourages children’s growth and development, including their self‑confidence, spontaneity, curiosity, and self‑discipline. As a whole and within each classroom, we consider ourselves a community of learners.

Support teachers work center‑wide, covering lead and assistant teachers for planning time, meetings, and PTO. Support teachers form supportive, positive relationships with children of all ages. Low classroom ratios allow for the development of secure, lasting relationships between children, teachers, and families. Hutch Kids is accredited by NAEYC and participates in Early Achievers. Strong candidates will be patient and professional, with a child‑centered philosophy of how children learn and grow.

Must be a team player and love all children. Must have high school diploma or GED, though some college coursework in ECE is preferred and a minimum of 1‑year teaching experience with young children. As an Early Achievers participating center, our faculty have access to scholarships and grants that cover their entire tuition for Early Childhood Education programs at local colleges.

Hutch Kids is committed to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture for children, families, and staff. Individuals who identify as male, are members of the BIPOC community, and represent a marginalized community are encouraged to apply given that their unique experiences and perspectives directly support the need for young children to have both mirrors and windows within our community.

The support teacher is a key role at Hutch Kids. Support teachers step into the classroom when lead or assistant teachers are ill, on vacation, or to cover planning time and meetings. Support teachers work with all ages and maintain warm, professional relationships with their children, families, and colleagues. We value candidates who are patient, flexible, energetic, devoted to positive discipline practices, communicative, respectful of children and their ideas, and committed to building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive community.

• Minimum 1‑year teaching experience with young children.
• Lift up to 35 lbs unassisted and be able to bend, stand, climb, and walk.
• Negative TB skin test taken within the past year.
• Proof of MMR vaccinations or immunity.
• Current flu vaccine.
• Pass a DCYF background check.
• Current First Aid/CPR and Blood‑borne pathogen certificate within 10 days of hire.
• Ability to work in a culturally diverse environment.
• High school diploma or GED (college coursework in ECE preferred).

This position is full‑time, 40 hours per week, 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. Salary is $25.18/hour. Benefits include medical, vision, and dental (employer covers 100%), matching 401(k) after one year of employment (employee may begin contributing after 30 days), long‑term disability, life insurance, paid time off (PTO), paid holidays (13 per year), and access to our Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
