The New Dream Family Center is always interested in talking to qualified job seekers.
We often have entry-level positions available for folks who want to learn about working in the childcare industry. In addition, there are teacher-qualified positions that come available occasionally, and it is worth checking in with us by filling out an application and submitting it to us. We will get back to you and let you know if we have any open positions. If you wish to inquire before filling out an application, please email [email protected] and someone will let you know if we have any openings.

We are located right on the corner of 18th Ave & Polk St at 1295 W 18th Ave., (it’s a one way driveway, entering from Polk Street).

The children in our center are from 6 weeks - 12 years in age. Our students and staff are diverse, and we welcome applications from individuals who are from populations historically underrepresented and who have experience working with children from diverse backgrounds.
