Do you love taking care of children?

Pay

Every year the office and the director survey what similar centers in the area pay, and compensation here is kept in the upper third of comparable child care centers.

Help with your degree

Employees who want to further their education and qualify are encouraged to earn an Early Childhood Education degree through our tuition program, under a written agreement with the owners.

In return, you agree to work at Tender Years for three years after finishing your studies. If you leave early, you repay part of the tuition: two thirds if you leave in the first year, half in the second, and a third in the third.

How hiring works

Open positions are posted on the staff and parent board, and may also run in the local newspaper and with Child Care Resources and Employment Security. Candidates are screened by phone and the top three are interviewed. An offer is made after every reference has been contacted and the candidate’s skills confirmed.

Equal opportunity

Placements and promotions follow our policy of equal employment opportunity for everyone, without regard to race, color, age, sex, sexual orientation, disability or national origin.
