Discovery Point - Lutz·Hillsborough County, Florida
Create a safe and engaging classroom environment through hands-on activities and play-based learning. Support the social, emotional, and academic growth of preschool children while building positive relationships with families.
This job involves spontaneous dance parties, paint-covered hands, and the very real possibility that a four-year-old will tell you something that changes your whole day. If that sounds like your kind of chaos — keep reading.
Discovery Point Lutz is on the hunt for Preschool Teachers who show up with energy, lead with heart, and genuinely light up around little learners. We’re not your average childcare center — we’re a team that cheers each other on, celebrates the small wins, and believes great teachers deserve to love where they work.
Why work at our preschool? Because here, you’re more than just an employee — you’re family.
As a family-owned and operated preschool, we’ve built our school around one simple belief: when teachers feel supported, valued, and appreciated, children thrive. That’s why we put people first in everything we do.
Unlike large corporate centers, our owner is on-site daily, actively involved, approachable, and invested in both our students and our team. Your voice matters here. Your ideas are heard. Your hard work is noticed and celebrated.
We’ve created a warm, positive environment where teamwork, respect, and genuine relationships come first. From the classrooms to leadership, we believe in lifting each other up, creating meaningful connections, and making every day rewarding.
If you’re looking for a place where you can grow professionally, feel appreciated personally, and make a lasting impact on children and families, this is more than a job — it’s a community you’ll love being part of.
Candidates should have a genuine love for children, a positive attitude, and a reliable work ethic. DCF 45 Hours are preferred, and a CDA or Staff Credential is a plus for lead positions.
