Daycare Finder Jobs
Daycare jobs at centers parents already rate
Search open teaching, assistant, director and support roles at childcare centers across the United States. Every listing links straight to the employer's own posting. Where the center is in our directory, you can read what parents say about it before you apply.
Find a childcare job
Filter by state, city or role. "Open positions" are specific jobs an employer has posted. "Centers with a hiring page" are centers in our directory whose own website has a careers page, so you can check what they have open.
Loading current openings. If the list does not appear, email info@daycarefinder.net with your city and the kind of role you want, and we will send you what we have.
How Daycare Finder Jobs works
Step 1
Search by place and role
Pick your state, type a city, and choose the kind of work you want: lead teacher, assistant teacher or aide, director, or kitchen, driving and office roles.
Step 2
Check the center first
Daycare Finder is a directory of about 9,000 daycares with parent ratings. When a job is at one of those centers, the listing links to its page so you can see how families rate it.
Step 3
Apply with the employer
"View job" opens the employer's own posting. You apply there, directly with the center or company. We never stand between you and the hiring manager.

We collect openings from two places. The first is the public career pages of childcare employers, including KinderCare, Learning Care Group (La Petite Academy, Childtime, Tutor Time, Everbrook Academy), The Goddard School, Bright Horizons, Guidepost Montessori, The Gardner School, The Sunshine House, O2B Kids, Celebree School and Discovery Point. The second is the websites of the daycares listed in our directory: we visit each one and note whether it has a careers page.
We show only the facts of each opening: the job title, the employer, the city and state, whether it is full time or part time when the employer says so, and the date it was posted when we know it. We do not copy or rewrite job descriptions. The employer's posting is always the source of truth for pay, hours and requirements.
The date above the search results shows when we last checked. Centers fill roles quickly, so a job may close between checks. If you find a closed job, or you represent an employer and want a listing corrected or removed, email info@daycarefinder.net and we will fix it.
Is this free for job seekers?
Yes. Searching, applying through the employer's posting, and sending us your resume all cost nothing.
What do I need to work at a daycare?
It depends on the state and the employer, and each job posting lists its own requirements. Assistant and aide roles often ask for a high school diploma or GED. Lead teacher roles often ask for a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential or college credits in early childhood education. Licensed centers run background checks on new staff. Your state's child care licensing agency publishes the exact rules where you live.
Do you have jobs at small, independent centers?
Many independent centers post openings only on their own website. Choose "Centers with a hiring page" in the search to see centers from our directory that have a careers page, then follow the link to see what they have open.
I run a center. How do I add my openings?
Use the post a job form. If you already list jobs on your own website, give us that page in the form and we will pick up your openings from there.
