Child Start is actively recruiting for multiple openings in our early Head Start classrooms serving children ages 0-3, with positions available across Sedgwick county. These are full-time career opportunities for dedicated, early childhood professionals.
A typical day working with Child Start in an early childhood classroom may involve:
Encourage children to try new learning activities.
Assess each child’s development initially and update assessments throughout the school year.
Review the curriculum continually and write weekly lesson plans that incorporate all areas of child development (social/emotional development, physical and cognitive language development).
Requires:
Infant/Toddler Child Development Associate (CDA), (we have scholarships available to help with CDA completion)
relevant experience working with infants and toddlers.
The employee must regularly lift and/or move up to 30 pounds for various classroom and event needs.
A child’s earliest years – from birth to age 5 – are the most critical for establishing the building blocks to a successful future. This period is short and we can’t get it back once it’s gone. Child Start gives young children quality, learning experiences and provides valuable training and support to early childhood educators. It is Child Start’s hope that one day every child will have access to quality, early childhood education.
