YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION : EARLY LEARNING CENTER

Some are surprised to learn we don't offer swim lessons and other recreational sports related activities, yet, from its inception, the YWCA of Greater Cleveland has been dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.

Founded in 2001, the ELC provides high-quality early childhood education to families that have experienced homelessness and other traumatic occurrences through a two generational trauma-informed approach, small classrooms, and coordination of supportive services.

This innovative model assesses and identifies the social-emotional needs of the children, works with families to create case plans, achieve goals, prevents re-occurrence of homelessness, and empowers families to achieve and maintain the highest level of self-sufficiency.

Your Impact AS A LEAD TEACHER - EARLY LEARNING CENTER

As a Lead Teacher at ELC, you will play a crucial role in providing top-notch care for children, ensuring compliance with ODJFS rules and regulations, and implementing Developmentally Appropriate Practices (DAP).

Your creativity will shine as you craft engaging lesson plans that align with Ohio Early Learning Content Standards and cater to the unique needs of each child.

Building strong relationships with parents, you'll keep them abreast of their child's progress and milestones, fostering a collaborative and supportive environment.

Join us in making a positive impact on the lives of young learners and their families! Apply now to be part of our team at 4019 Prospect Ave in Midtown Cleveland.
