Job Openings
Working at the Child Development Academy has been such an amazing experience. From the moment I started, I felt like part of a family. The team is so supportive, and you can tell from the moment you walk in that everyone in the building truly cares about the children and each other. One of the things I love most is that we’re all passionate about our careers and continuously learning to provide the best care and education for the children. Every day is different, and it’s so rewarding to watch the children grow, learn, and hit new milestones. It never feels like ‘just a job’—it’s a place where you feel valued and make a real difference.
