Do you enjoy deep conversations about dinosaurs, glitter, and why the moon is following us?
Can you help with potty time, tie a shoe, and lead a dramatic reading of The Very Hungry Caterpillar — all before 10:00 AM?
If so, we may have your dream job.
We’re a warm, play-based early childhood program looking for a Part-Time Assistant Teacher to join our team of big-hearted humans who care deeply about small humans.
Your Daily Adventures May Include:
Building block towers (and gracefully accepting their destruction)
Comforting big feelings in tiny bodies
Singing songs you’ll have stuck in your head forever
Reading the same book 17 times with Oscar-worthy enthusiasm
Helping create a classroom where children feel safe, seen, and celebrated
You Might Be Our Person If:
You genuinely like children (we know, it sounds obvious — but it matters 😄)
You have experience working with young children (ECE background a plus!)
You believe play is serious work
You can get on the floor… and get back up again
You’re reliable, warm, and communicate like the grown-up in the room
The Details:
Part-Time 20-30 hours/week and Full Time
Located on Carpenter Road Ypsilanti/Ann Arbor Mi
Pay:$14-$17/hour
Must meet state licensing requirements (or be willing to)
Bonus points if you:
Love messy art
Know at least three silly songs
Aren’t afraid of glitter
Can drink lukewarm coffee without complaint
We offer:
Sick, holiday, vacation, Ira Matching, tuition assistance, Health, dental and vision insurance
A supportive, kind team
Lots of laughter
The occasional sticky hug
Meaningful work that truly matters
If this sounds like your kind of chaos (the good kind), send us:
A brief intro about yourself
Your experience with young children
Your availability
Your favorite children’s book (important!)

Owner and Director, Danielle DeSano-Smith, opened It's A Small World (ISW) as an in-home child care facility in 1992. Although ISW began as a summer camp for school aged children, in the fall of 1992, we quickly realized the need for quality infant and toddler care in the community and stayed open to offer a year round program. Danielle's husband, Jay Smith, joined her shortly before the birth of their first child in 1996. In 2005, Danielle and Jay opened the Explorer Club (school aged program) in its current location. In 2007, ISW incorporated its Pre-Kindergarten ready program with the school-aged program. In 2008, ISW moved its Infant, Toddler, and Little Adventurer Preschool classrooms to the same location as the Explorer Club.
The most important foundation for children's success is a caring adult who helps them make sense of their world. ISW and EC teachers aspire to emanate imagination, build self-esteem and help children discover new things every day. If you are a dedicated person who understands the importance of his/herself in the daily lives of children you might be the right person for our team.
