School Age Teacher

About Us

A to Z Building Blocks is a child care and preschool program focused on creating a safe, structured, and supportive environment for children and families. We take pride in our work, our culture, and the team we build.

About the Role

This role supports our school-age program. During the summer, this is a full-time position. During the school year, this is a split-shift position supporting before and after school care.

If you enjoy working with school-age children and want to be part of a team that supports each other, this could be a great fit! This position is perfect for someone who enjoys variety and a schedule that follows the school day.

• During the school year, you'll work with children before school, have a break in the middle of the day, and return for the after-school program.
• During the summer, you'll transition into a full-time schedule filled with fun activities, field trips, and adventures with our school-age group.

Schedule

School Year Schedule

If you're looking for a schedule that allows for free time in the middle of the day while still working full-time during the summer, this position offers the best of both worlds. For those interested in additional hours during the school year, there are opportunities to support our infant, toddler, and preschool classrooms during the midday break.

Available Monday through Friday with operating hours of 6:00 am to 6:30 pm as scheduled.
