Us?
The backbone of any program is only as good as the quality of the personnel. Head Start only hires qualified degreed professionals, who also have extensive experience in child development. Head Start expects the staff to grow as well as the students, therefore provides many hours of professional development each year.
Speaking of hiring professionals, we’re hiring preschool teachers! If you are interested in becoming a Head Start School teacher, we encourage you to check out our open positions! We offer fantastic benefits & perks (check out our Perks page for details!), professional development, and no working off the clock. We have over a dozen sites all over Kent County, so check to see if there’s a preschool teacher job near you!
