Color Our Rainbow Academy has nearly 25 years of the highest ranked quality rating in the state, delivering only the best childcare and education. As an assistant teacher you can help to set the foundation for our future. Work within a company that has been voted by their employees for multiple years as an employer of choice. We are not your average daycare!

Color Our Rainbow Academy  provides a flexible, fun and family focused atmosphere with many levels of support. You become part of a team who demonstrate integrity, innovation, and passionate customer service. We also have FUN every day. For example, you may wear your pajamas to work one day and parade around the center in some Mickey ears the next day with the kids! 

When you join Color Our Rainbow Academy, your training will not only be interactive and fun, but it will be individualized for you to be successful in your classroom. We are a family-owned center who still has a long, and growing, list of benefits and an owner who knows and is involved in current early childhood education who you will interact with often.

Working during the summer months (June through August) you will join our team as Summer Camp “counselors”. Be a part of our summer camp calendar that is loaded with extra enrichment; field trips ( for school agers) and classroom activities that we don’t usually do during the school year. We have positions for both full and part time.
