Why Roots Prep
A place where your work is seen
We're small on purpose. That means less red tape, closer relationships with the families you work with, and a real say in how your classroom or department runs.
A real growth path
Move from Assistant Teacher to Lead Teacher to Program Coordinator as you grow with us.
Paid training & development
Monthly training and support toward CDA or Montessori certification — on the clock, not on your own time.
Fully resourced classrooms
A dedicated resource room and classroom budget — you're never paying out of pocket for materials.
A predictable schedule
Monday–Friday, daytime hours. No nights, no weekends, no surprise schedule changes.
A small, close-knit team
Owned and run by educators, not a corporate office. You'll be known by name, not employee number.
Support beyond the paycheck
An Employee Assistance Program, paid time off, and a child care benefit that grows with your tenure.
