Preschool Cook / Floater Teacher (Assistant Coverage)

We are hiring a reliable and energetic Preschool Cook / Floater Teacher to join our team!

This hybrid role combines two important responsibilities: preparing nutritious meals for our preschoolers and providing classroom coverage so our teachers can take their breaks.

What You’ll Do:

• Prepare and serve breakfast, lunch, and snacks exactly according to the approved Child Care Food Program (CCFP) menu
• Portion meals properly for young children and follow all food safety, storage, and sanitation guidelines
• Maintain a clean kitchen and comply with all health department and licensing regulations
• Provide classroom coverage as a floater — step into different classrooms to give teachers their needed breaks while actively supervising children and keeping them safe and engaged
• Be flexible and ready to support various age groups throughout the day
• Work closely with the teaching team and follow direction from the Director

Requirements:

• Valid Food Handler Card (Food Card) — required
• Experience preparing meals in a school, daycare, or similar setting — preferred
• Familiarity with CCFP guidelines — a plus
• Passion for working with young children and a positive, patient attitude
• Reliable, flexible, and detail-oriented
• Ability to be on your feet most of the day and lift up to 40 lbs
• Must pass background check and meet all state childcare licensing requirements

Schedule: Monday – Friday (preschool hours – no nights or weekends)

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys cooking and working with kids but prefers a mix of kitchen and classroom time instead of being in one classroom all day.

If you’re dependable, love kids, and take pride in serving healthy meals, we want to hear from you!
