About The Position

Early Childhood Substitute Teacher Flexible, Part-Time & On-Call Positions Available You became a teacher because you believe in what happens when a child feels seen, safe, and supported.

At Sunshine Schools, we’re building something special—and we need dependable Substitute Teachers who can step into a classroom and help keep that magic going. We have children ready to learn. We have classrooms that need support. We just need you.
