Discovery Point Lutz is on the hunt for Preschool Teachers who show up with energy, lead with heart, and genuinely light up around little learners. We’re not your average childcare center — we’re a team that cheers each other on, celebrates the small wins, and believes great teachers deserve to love where they work.

What You’ll Be Doing
• Creating a fun, safe, and engaging classroom environment
• Leading hands-on activities, circle time, crafts, and play-based learning
• Helping little learners grow socially, emotionally, and academically
• Building positive relationships with children and families
• Surviving glitter explosions with grace and professionalism

What We’re Looking For
• Positive attitude and reliable work ethic
• Genuine love for working with children
• Team player mentality — we’re all in this together
• DCF 45 Hours preferred (or willingness to complete)
• CDA/Staff Credential is a plus for lead positions
• Experience in childcare or preschool preferred, but personality matters most!

What We Offer
• Supportive, appreciative leadership team
• Fun, family-oriented work environment
• Paid holidays & PTO for eligible employees
• Paid time off
• Flexible scheduling
• Discounted childcare for your own little ones
• Opportunities for growth within the company
• The occasional free coffee — and constant tiny hugs

Why work at our preschool? Because here, you’re more than just an employee — you’re family.

As a family-owned and operated preschool, we’ve built our school around one simple belief: when teachers feel supported, valued, and appreciated, children thrive. That’s why we put people first in everything we do.

Unlike large corporate centers, our owner is on-site daily, actively involved, approachable, and invested in both our students and our team. Your voice matters here. Your ideas are heard. Your hard work is noticed and celebrated.

We’ve created a warm, positive environment where teamwork, respect, and genuine relationships come first. From the classrooms to leadership, we believe in lifting each other up, creating meaningful connections, and making every day rewarding.

If you’re looking for a place where you can grow professionally, feel appreciated personally, and make a lasting impact on children and families, this is more than a job — it’s a community you’ll love being part of.

Compensation: $14.00 - $17.00 per hour

Teaching and working at Discovery Point is more than just a “daycare job.” This is your opportunity to make an impact in the lives of the children in your community with a rewarding career path in child care.
