Location: Multiple childcare centers in the Twin Cities and surrounding suburbs — you choose your assignments.

READ BEFORE APPLYING

We are hiring reliable, long-term substitutes who are ready to work consistently — not just looking for occasional hours or a short-term job.
If you can’t commit to being available for shifts throughout the year, this is not the right position.

• Education: 12 quarter credits (8 semester credits) in Early Childhood Education per DHS/DCYF.
• Age: Must be at least 18 years old.

• Certification: All state-mandated training must be current and kept up to date.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As an Early Childhood Substitute, you’ll step into different licensed childcare centers and work with children from birth to age five. You may assist in infant, toddler, or preschool classrooms — or lead them if you meet teacher-level qualifications.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• Supervising and engaging children in daily routines and learning activities.
• Following lesson plans provided by the center.
• Maintaining a safe, clean, and positive classroom environment.
• Supporting the center’s staff and following all policies and procedures.
