Part-Time Floater Teacher

Early Spark Academy & Childcare | Southfield, MI

$16.00-$18.00/hour | Monday-Friday

Early Spark Academy & Childcare is hiring two part-time Floater Teachers to support our growing early childhood program.

If you enjoy variety, working with different age groups, and being part of a collaborative team, this may be a great fit!

Two Schedules Available

7:15 AM-1:00 PM OR 9:45 AM-3:30 PM

Cover teacher breaks and planning/preparation time

Assist with transitions, routines, rest time, and indoor/outdoor experiences

Engage with children through play, conversation, and learning experiences

Use positive, developmentally appropriate guidance

Provide additional support when children or classrooms need it

Assist with daily meal service, including preparation, portioning, dishes, and cleanup

Help keep classrooms and shared spaces safe, organized, and welcoming

Step into different areas of the program based on daily needs

Our Floaters are cross-trained, but may have different primary responsibilities. One may spend more time supporting meal service and morning operations, while another may focus more on classroom coverage, teacher breaks, prep time, and afternoon support.

What We're Looking For

Experience working with young children

Dependable, flexible, patient, and team-oriented

Comfortable working with different classrooms and age groups

Able to actively engage with children throughout the day

Comfortable supporting both classroom and meal-service needs

CDA/ECE coursework or licensed childcare experience is a plus, but not required

Compensation

$16.00-$18.00/hour

Starting pay within the range is based on education, early childhood credentials, relevant licensed childcare experience, and overall qualifications.

Join a growing early childhood program where your flexibility and support make a difference across the entire school day.
