About The Position

Fantastic opportunity to join a great team of early childhood professionals! We are looking for qualified, caring early childhood toddler teachers for our non-profit Early Learning Center.

For over 100 years, the organization has served thousands of families, regardless of their economic status, from Newton and neighboring towns. The word ACCESS is an acronym of the phrase "A Center for Comprehensive Education and Support Services", a phrase that clearly defines the organization's work in the community. Formerly known as Newton Community Service Center, our new name, specifically the word ACCESS, describes the impact of that work. It reminds us of the doors that open, and the rich journeys that result, when children and families have access to the very best education-based resources and programs.
