We are a busy and growing early learning center and are looking for a chef to create a pescatarian menu (no shellfish) for the children using seasonal produce and healthy ingredients. Our center provides breakfast, a morning snack, lunch, and afternoon snack.

The Assistant Teacher works alongside the Lead Teacher to help create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for young children. This role includes helping with classroom activities, supporting daily routines, keeping the classroom clean and organized, and making sure children are supervised and engaged throughout the day.
