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

What if building the good life starts long before you're old enough to even know what that means?

Our founder, Wyatt Graves, believes it does.

Fundamentals was never meant to simply be a place where children spend the day while their parents work. The vision was to create an early learning center -- a place where the years before kindergarten are treated like the incredibly important years they are.

Because children are already learning.

They're learning how to communicate. How to solve problems. How to make friends. How to follow directions, handle big feelings, become more independent and discover what they're capable of.

The foundation is being built whether we're intentional about it or not.

Wyatt talks a lot today about building the good life -- surrounding yourself with the right people, continuing to grow, serving others and creating a life you're proud of.

At Fundamentals, we just get to start a little earlier. ❤️

They were the very first baby class at Fundamentals... then they came back dressed for their freshman homecoming ❤️

(And, yes, they are banging on the door to be let back in in one of the pictures 😂)

These girls started at Fundamentals as babies the day we opened our doors in 2013. They grew up here together, became some of each other's very first best friends, and all these years later, they're still friends.

When it was time to take pictures for their freshman homecoming, they came back to where their story together started.

MJ's mom, Katrina Ward, shared this with us:

“Fundamentals will always hold such a special place in our hearts. It was so much more than the place I trusted with my baby girl, MJ, it became part of our village.

The staff loved my baby. They truly knew her, her personality, her moods, what made her smile, and even when she just wasn’t having a good day. They knew when she needed a little extra love, a different approach, or simply someone who understood how to refocus her and help turn her day around.

And Fundamentals gave her something else that has lasted far beyond her time there: some of her very first best friends. These girls started out as babies growing up together, and all these years later, that friendship continues.

Fundamentals helped raise our babies. They loved them, taught them, redirected them, celebrated them, and gave them a place where they belonged.

It really does take a village and I will forever be grateful that Fundamentals was part of ours.”

As we celebrate 25 years since Wyatt first stepped into childcare, these are the stories that put those years into perspective.

You can count years.
You can count classrooms.
You can count how many children have walked through the doors.

But then the first babies you cared for show back up as high school freshmen, still best friends, suddenly you can SEE what all those years mean.

We couldn't think of a better picture of the legacy we're celebrating this month. ❤️
