The Top 5 Reasons to Work With Us
Discovery Time is a place where early childhood educators are valued, supported, and given the room to do their best work.
We work hard and play hard
No two days are the same at Discovery Time. Our teachers serve children and families with the aim of exceeding expectations daily. Team outings, teacher spirit week, zumba sessions during PD, monthly appreciation meals, and our famous candy basket help us play just as hard as we work.
Awesome training opportunities
Training should be fun, motivational, relevant, and a chance to push the refresh button. Recent years have included paid out-of-state conferences in Florida and Richmond, three on-site staff development days, and access to hundreds of trainings offered each year by the State of Virginia.
Great pay for great performance
We were one of the first early learning centers in the area to reward classroom excellence in a real way. Competitive base compensation includes health insurance, paid holidays and leave, and tuition reimbursement — plus the opportunity to earn up to $2,000 in annual performance bonuses.
Grow personally and professionally
We set high expectations and our teachers rise to the occasion, growing in the process — it's that simple. Lead teacher, mentor, and director pathways are open to team members who are ready for more.
Our teachers are the best in the area
Our leadership team has worked tirelessly to build a fantastic group of educators committed to our parents and children. In between wiping faces and shaking musical instruments, our teachers smile, sing, dance, and have fun teaching — so children play, learn, and go home super happy.
Special Moments for Our Team
At Discovery Time we take pride in caring for our teachers and rewarding a job well done. Here are special moments from training, team building, our annual retreat, and staff appreciation and recognition days.
