Bullfrogs and Butterflies WANTS GREAT TEACHERS!

We are a privately owned and operated child care facility. We serve children from the age of 6 weeks though 12 years old. We take pride in meeting the individualized needs of our students and making children and families our #1 priority. Our program and curriculum are designed to support the developmental needs of each child in an age appropriate and supportive environment. We ask families to make a significant personal and financial commitment to Bullfrogs and Butterflies and we seek teachers worthy of that investment.

We are looking for qualified Teachers that are ready to have fun, support, and teach our children. This opening may be full time or part time – Our program runs from 7:00am to 5:30pm.

Our curriculum helps children become independent, self-confident, and inquisitive learners. Young children learn best by doing and learn at their own pace. Learning isn’t just repeating what someone else says; it requires active thinking and experimenting to find out how things work and to learn firsthand about the world we live in. That is why we exercise a curriculum that focuses on all areas of development; Social, Emotional, Cognitive, and Physical. We’re looking for Teachers who will exercise this curriculum on a daily basis.
