Careers

Boy at Desk

At Fundamentals Early Learning Centers, we hire teachers with the education, skills, abilities, and most importantly, talent (which we do not believe can be taught), to deliver a world-class experience to children in a personalized manner.

If you share this calling and possess the talent necessary to partner with parents and deliver such an experience to children, then we want to hear from you!

Benefits

Creating a culture where staff have a burning desire to deliver absolute excellent service to children, families, and each other is part of our DNA. This is partially done by offering a pathway for advancement within the early childhood industry, both with salary and education.

Our pay scale is built upon a combination of education, years of experience, professional membership in ECE organizations and considers on-the-job performance as measured by Environment Rating Scale’s Assessments. Simply put, the more education & experience you have plus the higher you perform in the classroom – the higher wage you earn!

If you don’t already have professional education specific to the field of early childhood education, we will pay for you to earn it! We will facilitate scholarships on your behalf and cover the cost not covered for you to climb the ladder and earn your professional designation/degree in Early Childhood Education!

Other Benefits Include:

  • Paid Holidays
  • Vacation Pay
  • In-Service Training held during normal work hours

With everything Wyatt Graves has built over the last 25 years, from real estate and construction to investing and mentoring other entrepreneurs, you might wonder why early childhood education is still such an important part of his world.

Because some investments are about a whole lot more than buildings and bottom lines.

In 2001, Wyatt opened his first childcare center at just 20 years old. He probably had no idea how many families, teachers, and children would become part of his story over the next 25 years.

And while his businesses have grown and changed, his belief in the importance of early childhood education hasn't.

Every day at Fundamentals, our teachers are helping little people learn BIG things. How to make friends, solve problems, gain confidence, and discover what they're capable of.

Wyatt has spent his career building businesses, but we're pretty proud of what he's helped build right here in Central ❤️

As we celebrate Wyatt's 25-year journey in childcare this month, we're sharing stories from the families who have been part of it. And this one from Lanee Hebert is exactly why those years mean so much.

Lanee shared:
"I cannot say enough wonderful things about Fundamentals Early Learning Center! Our family was a part of Fundamentals for 7 years, and I can truly say it was one of the biggest blessings for our children.

Over the past 7 years, we have watched our children learn, grow, and reach so many milestones, all while being surrounded by teachers and staff who genuinely love and care for them. As a parent, there is no better feeling than knowing your children are in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment every single day.

What makes Fundamentals so special is that it is more than just a daycare or learning center. It truly feels like family. The teachers and staff go above and beyond to make every child feel loved, encouraged, and supported.

After 7 years, I can confidently say that choosing Fundamentals Early Learning Center was one of the best decisions we have made for our family."

Twenty-five years of childcare experience is something we're proud to celebrate. But hearing what those years have meant to the families we've served? That's what makes this anniversary so special.

Because the real measure of what we've built isn't how many children have come through our doors. It's the place we get to hold in their lives long after they've left.

Thank you, Lanee, for trusting us with your babies for seven wonderful years and for sharing a piece of your family's story with us. ❤️
