Early Childhood Teacher

Imagine going to work knowing that what you do each day positively affects the lives of the people in your community. Working at the Y, you’ll discover more than a job—you’ll enjoy the opportunity to make a lasting difference in the lives of those around you.

The Learning Circle YMCA, a branch of the Summit Area YMCA (SAY), is seeking enthusiastic early childhood teachers to take our daycare and early education efforts to the next level. The Teacher is responsible for ensuring our children’s daily physical, social, mental development and well-being while in our care. Teachers supervise children as they learn and play, provide comfort and reassurance, plan stimulating activities, and keep children clean and safe. The position requires a professional commitment to the philosophy of the YMCA’s programs and to meeting the needs of its children and families.

Positions are availible in Infants, Toddlers, Preschool, and Pre-K. 

This year-round program runs Monday- Friday, 7:30am – 6:00pm with a flex schedule, 40 hours each week.

The SAY offers generous employee benefits that include competitive salary, subsidized medical, dental, vision, life and long-term disability insurance, paid time off for vacation, wellness or holidays, a free YMCA family membership, discounts on Y programs and services including child care, continued professional training and development courses, and an 12% contribution to your retirement plan upon eligibility.

Every day, we work side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone can reach their full potential and we strive to live our cause with purpose every day. No matter who you are or where you’re from, we believe we’re stronger when we come together.
