Preschool Teachers

Early Care and Education is hiring at all 5 of our locations in the DFW area (Coppell, Flower Mound, Southlake/Keller, Arlington).

Early Care and Education is a locally owned and operated nationally accredited preschool program. Our goal is to have a preschool and after‑school program that exceeds state and national standards and to move early education into a new era. Our philosophy is simple: provide developmentally appropriate activities, prepare children to exceed in public education, while also allowing the child to be a child and to learn through play.

Based on research from public school teachers, we put a strong focus on social and emotional skills, physical education, sensory activities, dual languages, thinking and reasoning, and most of all, making sure the child is happy! We believe that children experience the greatest growth when they feel safe and connected. Therefore, we strive to create a compassionate school family culture that provides a safe learning environment for the children of Early Care & Education.

We acknowledge the importance of teaching children of our future a skill set to ensure self‑regulation and problem‑solving. We work together—teacher, child, and parent—to establish routines and rituals that provide predictability and consistency within our classrooms.

Early Care and Education is looking for enthusiastic assistant and lead teachers who have experience working with young children from infants to pre‑kindergarten to join our School Family.
