Your work as an ECE professional doesn't have to be stressful...
If you are often feeling already stressed before even starting your work day, have to face the same issues, unexpected problems and requests come up every day, and are not put into a condition to be able to give children the necessary attention and resources, have to provide by yourself for lack of supplies, feel no support from the management and go back home stressed and can’t even enjoy your free time after work - it is time for a change.
Why ScuttleBugs is the right choice for your ECE career?
We're a business-like structured organization working according to the set of processes, where you won't have unexpected tasks and will not suffer lack of communication
Nevertheless, we are a small team where people look out for each other
Each our classroom is on its turn a team of co-teaching educators
We’re extremely serious about our curriculum. You will be working with our Program Manager, to reach the teaching/learning goals for your classroom
Before starting working with us, you will go through a thorough orientation process (about a week): we want our team members to be comfortable when they start working in the classroom and to set them up to succeed and not fail. Of course, this is the best for the children too
We have 3 PDD days per year: we take time to make sure the team has an occasion to learn about updates in the ECE field and to bond. Our PDDs are not just a usual couple of supposed-to-be-fun activities, but a real learning experience that contributes into our teachers' professional growth.
We also organize obligatory first aid and CPR courses for all the staff.
The experience of working at ScuttleBugs will help you bring your professionalism to a new level and acquire valuable skills that are not easy to find in the world of ECE.
We offer a competitive salary.
ScuttleBugs owners are not "all about profit", they are truly supportive of the employees and understand the teachers' perspective.
We are recognized throughout the San Francisco Bay Area (CA) as a premier provider of early childhood development and child care programs that balance both education and social and emotional needs, and our center in San Jose is one of not so many centers in the area which stayed open all through the period of Pandemic. We are honored to open our first ScuttleBugs’ campus in Boulder (CO).
What working at ScuttleBugs is like?
The enrollment process at ScuttleBugs is a mutual assessment: we need to make sure upfront that the partnership between the center and the families is going to be long-lasting and successful. This applies to getting to know our future team members too.
So, what to expect while working as an early childhood educator at ScuttleBugs?
- We have the curriculum for all ages and our teachers work with children towards reaching their learning milestones. Our Program Manager works with classroom teams in order to help children with their goals and make sure the children thrive and develop in the classroom they're in (or transition to the next one).
- Teachers communicate with parents daily via and App (sharing photos or other information)
- Early childhood educators are professionals and our dress-code policy supports that
- We take pride in the appearance of our classrooms and on the playground
- We will ask you for your baby photo (for the website staff bio page 😍)
- Be prepared to jokes, laughter and we can't ensure there will be no English Humor
In short, working as an early childhood teacher at ScuttleBugs is about education, and is much more than just watching children. It is a professional environment where teachers feel motivated and challenged, but also enjoy being a part of a happy place for children.
