  • Maintain a cheerful, can-do attitude with children, parents, and colleagues (yes, even when someone spills glitter everywhere!).
  • Gently guide children toward positive behavior choices using techniques like FLIP IT and Second Step.
  • Observe, document, and celebrate each child’s progress, sharing their victories (big and small) with proud parents.
  • Keep parents in the loop with updates and celebrate their children’s achievements. Invite them to Family/Teacher Conferences where you’ll team up to help their child shine bright!

  • Understanding of DHS licensing, Keystone Stars, and accreditation standards.

Wellbeing Perks
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
  • Health Reimbursement Arrangement
