We teach the children to talk, pretend play, feed themselves, make friends, etc. We are looking for playful, high-energy staff that have a passion for helping kids learn while having fun! You will lead the kids in educational activities/games and make sure all safety rules are followed. Once a month, we take our kids on field trips! SOS will give you hands-on training. We have weekly team trainings and quarterly in-service training days. SOS will pay for you to become a certified behavior technician, obtain a CPR certification, and QBS Safety Care Certification. We also offer several side certification programs through the CR Institute platform. Staff members get a performance review every 6 months. Behavior Technicians have the opportunity to be promoted into Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, or a Trainer.
