Work With Us
The Lemberg Children’s Center is more than a workplace—it’s a collaborative community where we PLAY, GROW, and LEARN together. Our team of devoted professionals is united by a mission to advance early childhood education through meaningful collaboration, supporting the successful efforts of children, families, and educators alike.
We believe learning happens everywhere. That’s why we welcome educators and staff with diverse skills—from the arts and sciences to technology and outdoor exploration—to enrich our classrooms. We especially encourage applicants who speak languages other than English or use ASL, reflecting the rich diversity of our families.
Opportunities here extend beyond the classroom. In addition to direct teaching roles, we offer administrative positions, research and consulting work, experiential internships, and volunteer placements. Many roles are part-time, providing flexible pathways to join our team.
Our Board of Directors is committed to supporting our staff with a highly competitive compensation package, including wages and benefits that meet or exceed those of area schools and agencies. We invest in our team because we believe a supported educator is the heart of a thriving learning environment.
