Teacher Daycare

Find your line at Mt. Hood Meadows, where we turn passion into purpose by delivering unforgettable experiences in one of the Pacific Northwest’s most stunning mountain settings. We believe in creating moments that matter — for our guests, for each other, and for the community.  Apply today and join a team that fully embodies the mountain lifestyle.

Position Overview

Are you passionate about early childhood education and love the idea of working in a unique, mountain environment? Join the Mt. Hood Meadows Daycare team as a Daycare Teacher and make a difference in the lives of children while enjoying the vibrant energy of a seasonal resort community.

As a Daycare Teacher, you’ll be responsible for creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for young children; all while collaborating with a supportive team and surrounded by the natural beauty of Mt. Hood. You’ll lead your classroom with creativity and care, manage teacher assistants, and design fun, age-appropriate curriculum that keeps kids active, learning, and smiling.

If you're adaptable, team-oriented, and ready to bring your enthusiasm and expertise to a fast-paced, guest-focused setting, this is the perfect opportunity for you. Bonus points if you can ski, snowboard, or speak a second language; but most of all, we’re looking for people who genuinely love working with children and are committed to their safety, growth, and joy.
