Job Description

The Power of Play. The Love of Family. The Importance of Faith.

At Calvary Early Learning, these aren't just words—they're the foundation of everything we do. We believe children learn best through meaningful play, strong partnerships with families, and a Christ-centered environment where every child is known, loved, and encouraged to grow.

We're looking for caring, energetic educators who enjoy working as part of a collaborative team. No two days are exactly alike, and our educators work together to meet the changing needs of children while creating safe, engaging, and joy-filled classrooms where every child can thrive.

  • Demonstrate Christ's love through your interactions with children, families, and coworkers.
  • Help nurture each child's spiritual, intellectual, physical, social, and emotional development.
  • Create a welcoming environment where every child is known, valued, and encouraged.
  • Partner with families and fellow educators to build a caring, faith-centered community.
  • Exhibit a growth mindset by continually seeking opportunities to learn, grow, and support the mission of Calvary Church.

How You'll Make an Impact

  • Create a welcoming, safe, and engaging classroom using developmentally appropriate practices and positive behavior guidance.
  • Plan and implement meaningful, play-based learning experiences that support each child's overall development.
  • Observe children's growth and document progress using assessment tools.
  • Build positive relationships with children, families, and coworkers through open and respectful communication.
  • Maintain an organized, clean, and safe learning environment.
  • Utilize childcare management software for attendance, communication, and daily documentation.
  • Work collaboratively with fellow educators and support staff to provide exceptional care and education.
  • Participate in indoor and outdoor activities and perform the physical demands of caring for young children, including lifting up to 40 pounds and regularly bending, stooping, climbing, carrying, and standing for extended periods.

What We're Looking For

  • Qualified as a Teacher under Minnesota DHS Rule 3.
  • Degree in Early Childhood Education, Child Development, or a related field preferred.
  • Experience working with toddler or preschool-aged children in a licensed childcare setting preferred.
  • Passion for play-based learning and child development.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills.
  • Commitment to maintaining professional standards consistent with DCYF Rule 3, NAEYC accreditation, and Calvary Church expectations.
  • Desire to support the mission of Calvary Church and contribute to a Christ-centered early learning environment.

  • Well-equipped classrooms with quality materials
  • Opportunity to make a lasting impact on children and families
  • A team that values faith, relationships, and excellence in early childhood education
