    Job description

    Part-Time Assistant Child Care Teacher

    Penobscot Bay YMCA | Rockport, Maine

    Love Working with Kids? Come Grow With Us!

    Some of the most important work happens on the floor building block towers, reading favorite stories, helping a child learn something new, exploring outside, making wonderfully messy art, and celebrating the little moments that are actually very big moments.

    At the Penobscot Bay YMCA, we're looking for a Part-Time Assistant Child Care Teacher to join our early childhood team in Rockport.

    You'll work alongside experienced Lead Teachers to create a safe, welcoming, and engaging classroom where children can learn, play, build confidence, and thrive. If you genuinely enjoy working with children and are looking for meaningful part-time work, we'd love to meet you.

    Our child care centers are open Monday-Friday during daytime hours, with no nights or weekends. This position also has the potential to grow into a full-time role.

    A Part-Time Job with Purpose — and Some Great Perks!

    As a part-time member of our child care team, you'll receive:

    • $500 Sign-On Bonus — paid in two installments: $250 after 3 months and $250 after 6 months of employment
    • $240+ Monthly State of Maine Child Care Workforce Stipend — currently available in addition to your regular hourly wage
    • FREE Individual YMCA Membership — a $696 annual value
    • Maine Paid Sick Leave
    • Monday-Friday Daytime Schedule — no nights or weekends
    • Potential Opportunity to Grow into a Full-Time Role

    Most importantly, you'll have the opportunity to do work that matters while being part of a team committed to helping children learn, grow, and thrive.

    What You'll Do

    As an Assistant Child Care Teacher, you'll support our licensed early childhood program and be part of the everyday moments that help children learn and grow. You'll:

    • Supervise and engage with children during classroom activities
    • Support educational lessons planned by Lead Teachers
    • Create a welcoming, developmentally appropriate environment
    • Ensure compliance with YMCA policies, DHHS regulations, and safety standards
    • Assist with observations, record-keeping, and day-to-day classroom duties
    • Build positive connections with children, families, and fellow staff
    • Float to cover other classrooms when necessary
