Early Childhood Educators
“Be the change you want to see in the world!”
Early Childhood is where those changes start, and St. Michael’s is seeking persons who are passionate about being instrumental in supporting children and their families in the first years of education. We offer competitive salaries as well as benefits—health insurance, retirement plan, life and short-term disability insurance, a generous PTO policy, and strong support for advancing your education. If you have considered joining the profession and spending your days with little ones who consistently remind you of what is most important in life, we will support your entrance into the profession, offer you the same benefits, and guide and support you as you move up the professional ladder.
We are currently looking for early childhood educators, preferably with a minimum of a Child Development Associate (CDA) and/or Associate's Degree. If you do not possess either degree or certification, you must be willing to enroll in a study program.
Our families join our community when their infants are 6 weeks old and cycle through the program until kindergarten. We support them through it all—from navigating POC to seeking advice and guidance on developmental issues to finding the kindergarten that matches their child’s needs and their family’s desire.
Please visit our website www.stmichaelsde.org for a glimpse of our community and our facilities. We are presently undergoing construction which will not only renovate our beautiful facility but also add additional classrooms and community outreach initiatives.
St. Michael’s has a rich of 133 years in answering the needs of our city. The pandemic demonstrated how essential early care is to our society. We are dedicated to building quality education into the experiences of all children and families.
Salaries are commensurate with education and years of experience. We participate in the Early Head Start program and those wages may be significantly higher if qualified.
