Job Description

Job Description
At Building Blocks, we value educators and are committed to meaningful change. We offer generous benefits, including a paid week off between Christmas and New Year’s, extended time off around the 4th of July, professional development, and true work-life balance—all to support a fulfilling, goal-aligned career.

Being a veteran educator in Early Education and Care means bringing confidence and insight to the classroom while remaining open to growth. The field is ever-evolving, with new research, regulations, and practices that require flexibility, strong communication, and a willingness to adapt. Your experience provides a steady foundation, but continued learning is essential—as is modeling that mindset for others. Whether you're mentoring colleagues or supporting young children through daily routines, your consistency, openness, and curiosity help create a thriving environment where everyone can grow.

We are seeking passionate Head Teachers to join our Hamden Building Blocks, led by a School Director with over 10 years of experience in EEC. Our thriving community is built on shared values of teamwork, passion, and a commitment to continuous learning.

Our Hiring Process
If your skills and experience align with the role, a member of our team will reach out to schedule a phone interview.
If the phone conversation suggests a strong fit, you'll be invited to continue with an in-person interview at the school. Once the interview process is complete, we’ll follow up within 48 hours to share the hiring team’s decision.

This location operates year-round, Monday–Friday, 7:00AM - 6:00PM.

We Offer:
  • Up to 75% discount on your child's tuition, including tax-friendly tuition reduction options.
  • Generous time off, in addition to a paid seasonal break from Christmas Eve through New Years Day, extended time around the 4th of July, and federal holiday closures.
  • Comprehensive health benefits package, including health, dental, & vision all effective from hire date.
  • Additional benefit selections, including pet insurance.
  • Free immediate subscription to First Stop Health for 24/7 access to virtual doctors.
  • 401(k) plan with company match (eligibility starts after 60 days of employment).
  • Pay increase opportunities related to job performance, update in certification credentials, and degree completion.
  • Opportunities for career advancement and ongoing coaching, including a dedicated Child Conference.
  • Employee referral program available.
At Building Blocks, our mission is driven by four key pillars:
  • People First – Prioritizing the growth and experience of our team.
  • Pedagogy for Tomorrow – Fostering innovative, child-focused teaching approaches.
  • Planet at the Core – Promoting sustainability and nature-based learning.
  • Positive Growth – Supporting children, families, and educators in every step forward.

Your daily responsibilities will include managing classroom needs to support children’s well-being, nurturing a love of learning through a child-centered approach with social-emotional, STEAM, and nature-based activities. As an educator, maintaining regular communication with families is essential to fostering collaborative growth.
Qualifications:
  • Must pass required state and company background checks.
  • Must have a high school diploma, GED, or be enrolled in classes.
  • EEC teacher certification or requirements completed to be submitted for review.
  • Adhere to all company policies and EEC regulations.
  • Ability to stand, move, run, and play for most of the day.
  • Ability to lift up to 30 pounds multiple times a day.

The compensation range represents Building Blocks’ intention for this position. Actual offers may vary based on experience, education, and other business factors.

Our teams, whether at our home office or inside our schools, are change makers – they inspire, create, model, and most importantly make this a great place to work.
