Work at FOR Kids Preschool
Where Purpose, Joy, and Childlike Wonder Come to Life
At FOR Kids Preschool, we create a space where kids feel seen, known, and wildly loved – and we want our teachers to feel the same way. We believe your work should really matter. You deserve to use your gifts and laugh A LOT during your workday.
Not just because you’re helping children learn their letters, numbers, and colors (though we do that too), but because you’re shaping hearts, building community, and living out your faith—one giggle, glue stick, and prayer at a time.
We’re not your average preschool.
We’re not your average preschool. We’re a faith-based school that exists to pour love, creativity, and purpose into the lives of young learners—and the adults who guide them.
We believe:
Children learn in a variety of ways
so we partner with families to learn about our students and adapt our teaching to meet each child’s individual learning needs.
Big feelings are normal
so instead of teaching children to stop having big feelings, we teach them what to do when those big feelings come.
We make time for play everyday
Students learn during structured time with the teacher AND when playing with friends,
God created each child exactly the way they are
and our role is to aim them in His direction – not tame them because they’re at school.
Why Work at FOR Kids?
Faith in Action
We spend time praying for our students and each other. We center our work on God’s love, and encourage one another with grace and purpose.
