On-siteEducation$20–$26/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "What You’ll Do" (responsibilities), "What We’re Looking For Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities", "Education", "Experience", "Credentials & Licensing", "Scheduling Requirements", "Why Join Us?" maybe benefits, "Compensation & Benefits". We need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. We need to map content to appropriate headings. We have responsibilities: bullet list under "What You’ll Do". That's responsibilities. We have "What We’re Looking For Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities" includes bullet list of abilities. That's skills/requirements. Education: bullet list. Experience: bullet list. Credentials & Licensing: bullet list. Scheduling Requirements: paragraph about flexibility. Why Join Us? includes description of culture, maybe benefits? But we have separate Compensation & Benefits section with details: Competitive compensation, hourly pay rate, on demand pay, childcare discount, 401(k), benefit package, PTO, holidays, medical/dental/vision, additional plans, educational development, tuition reimbursement, company-paid life insurance, pet insurance, paid CDA. Thus we can have sections: Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine Knowledge, Skills, Abilities + Education + Experience + Credentials?), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we need to follow instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Education, Experience, Credentials into "Qualifications". Skills could be part of Requirements. Let's think. We have headings allowed: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which to use. We have responsibilities content -> Responsibilities. We have knowledge, skills, abilities -> Skills (or Requirements). Could put under Skills. We have Education, Experience, Credentials & Licensing -> Qualifications. We have Scheduling Requirements -> Schedule. We have Compensation & Benefits -> Benefits and Pay. Could split: Pay section for hourly rate, Benefits section for rest. We also have "Why Join Us?" which is more about culture; could be part of Benefits? Or maybe we could add an About the role section summarizing role. But we already have responsibilities; About the role could be a brief overview from the intro: "We are hiring a Preschool Lead Teacher...". That's substantive. Could use About the role. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Skills, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not include empty sections. Now format: Use

for each heading. Then content: For lists use
  • . For prose use

    . Must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. The posting didn't have that. We need to extract all bullet points exactly. Let's list responsibilities bullet points (from "What You’ll Do"): - Create a warm, welcoming, and inclusive classroom environment where every child is treated with dignity, respect, and care. - Build positive, professional relationships with children and families, including daily greetings and ongoing communication. - Recognize and respond to diverse developmental, behavioral, cultural, and learning needs, including implementing IEPs and behavioral support plans as required. - Plan, implement, and document developmentally appropriate curriculum aligned with Cadence educational philosophy and Signature Programs. - Use Cadence-required systems and communication tools to communicate professionally with families, coworkers, and leadership. - Maintain a safe and well‑supervised classroom, following the Cadence Education Safety and Supervision Manual at all times. - Accurately document and report accidents, incidents, and escalated behaviors in accordance with company policy and licensing requirements. - Follow all Cadence Education policies, procedures, and standards outlined in the Employee Handbook. - Participate in required trainings, meetings, and professional development, which may occur outside of regularly scheduled work hours. Now Skills (Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities) bullet points: - Demonstrated ability to follow all safety procedures, including Name‑to‑Face accountability, food allergy processes, bottle‑feeding procedures, and Safe Sleep practices. - Ability to manage a classroom environment with consistency, structure, and care. - Strong written and verbal communication skills in English. Education bullet points: - Associate or Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education or a related field is preferred. Experience bullet points: - Must meet state licensing requirements for Lead Teachers in a licensed childcare center. - A minimum of 6-12 months of early childhood or classroom experience is preferred, depending on education and credentials. Credentials & Licensing bullet points: - Must meet all Department of Health Services (DHS) licensing qualifications for Lead Teachers, which may include - High school diploma or GED plus required experience or - College coursework in early childhood education or - CDA, CCP, EEC or NAC credential - Ability to obtain and maintain required background clearances and health screenings. - CDA preferred but not required if state requirements are met. Scheduling Requirements paragraph: - Flexibility is essential. Schedules may change based on enrollment, staffing ratios, and operational needs. - Work schedules may vary and are not guaranteed to be eight-hour shifts. - Daily end times may vary and cannot be guaranteed. Compensation & Benefits bullet points (need to preserve all): - Competitive compensation based on level of education and experience - Hourly Pay Rate $20 - $26 - On demand pay with UKG Wallet - 75% childcare tuition discount - 401(k) with employer match - Comprehensive benefit package for all full-time employees, including - Paid time off that increases with seniority - Paid holidays - Medical, dental, vision options available - Additional life, disability, and retirement plans - Educational and professional development - Tuition reimbursement - Company-paid life insurance - Pet insurance - Paid CDA Also "Why Join Us?" paragraph: We could incorporate into About the role or maybe a separate section but we don't have a heading for culture. Could add to About the role: "We are a community of professionals who care deeply about children and their growth. Our schools foster collaboration, open communication, and a supportive work environment. We prioritize work-life balance and provide the tools and resources you need to succeed." plus the earlier intro about hiring. Thus About the role content: combine intro and why join us. Let's craft About the role paragraph(s): - "We are hiring a Preschool Lead Teacher to join our team of dedicated educators. If you’re passionate about early childhood development and have experience in childcare, daycare, or preschool education, we’d love to meet you." - "We’re a community of professionals who care deeply about children and their growth. Our schools foster collaboration, open communication, and a supportive work environment. We prioritize work-life balance and provide the tools and resources you need to succeed." - "Under the direction of the School Director, the Lead Teacher plays a vital role in creating a safe, engaging, and developmentally appropriate learning environment for children. This position is responsible for planning and delivering curriculum, leading classroom operations, and implementing Cadence Education programs while supporting the physical, social, emotional, and developmental needs of all children—including those with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs)." - "Lead Teachers are classroom leaders who model professionalism, ensure compliance with licensing and safety requirements, and partner with families and team members to support each child’s growth and success." We need to preserve all substantive information; we can split into multiple

    paragraphs. Now produce HTML. Structure:

    Qualifications

    We need to include Education, Experience, Credentials & Licensing. Could make subheadings? Not allowed; only h3 headings. Could combine into one
      with all bullet points, but we need to preserve grouping? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Combining is fine as long as we don't lose detail. We can list all bullet points under Qualifications. Thus Qualifications
        with all bullet points from Education, Experience, Credentials & Licensing. But we need to ensure we don't lose the nuance like "Must meet state licensing requirements for Lead Teachers in a licensed childcare center." etc. Let's list them: Education: - Associate or Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education or a related field is preferred. Experience: - Must meet state licensing requirements for Lead Teachers in a licensed childcare center. - A minimum of 6-12 months of early childhood or classroom experience is preferred, depending on education and credentials. Credentials & Licensing: - Must meet all Department of Health Services (DHS) licensing qualifications for Lead Teachers, which may include - High school diploma or GED plus required experience or - College coursework in early childhood education or - CDA, CCP, EEC or NAC credential - Ability to obtain and maintain required background clearances and health screenings. - CDA preferred but not required if state requirements are met. We need to format nested bullet? The spec says use
        • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For nested items we could still use
          • and inside maybe another
              ? But spec didn't forbid nested lists. Safer to flatten: treat each line as a separate
            • . For the "which may include" we could make a
            • that contains a sublist. But we can just list each option as separate
            • under Qualifications, but we might lose the "which may include" phrase. Better to keep as a
            • with the phrase and then a nested
                . Let's do nested
                  inside
                • . That's still using
                  • . Acceptable. Thus Qualifications
                      with items:
                    • Associate or Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education or a related field is preferred.
                    • Must meet state licensing requirements for Lead Teachers in a licensed childcare center.
                    • A minimum of 6-12 months of early childhood or classroom experience is preferred, depending on education and credentials.
                    • Must meet all Department of Health Services (DHS) licensing qualifications for Lead Teachers, which may include:
                      • High school diploma or GED plus required experience or
                      • College coursework in early childhood education or
                      • CDA, CCP, EEC or NAC credential
                    • Ability to obtain and maintain required background clearances and health screenings.
                    • CDA preferred but not required if state requirements are met.
                    • Now Benefits section: we need to list benefits excluding pay. Benefits bullet list: - Competitive compensation based on level of education and experience (maybe this is more pay; but we have Pay section for hourly rate. Could put competitive compensation in Benefits or Pay. Since we have Pay section for hourly rate, we can put competitive compensation in Benefits as it's not a specific number. Or we could put in Pay. Let's decide: Pay section for hourly pay rate $20 - $26 and on demand pay with UKG Wallet. Benefits section for rest: 75% childcare tuition discount, 401(k) with employer match, comprehensive benefit package (including PTO, holidays, medical/dental/vision, additional life/disability/retirement, educational/professional development, tuition reimbursement, company-paid life insurance, pet insurance, paid CDA). Also competitive compensation based on level of education and experience could go in Benefits or Pay; I'll put in Benefits as it's not a specific rate. Thus Benefits
                        with items. Pay
