The Mentor Graphics Child Development Center is now known as the Siemens Child Development Center, an early childhood community. We have a full time opening in our highly reputable and innovative Preschool program.
No changes have been made to location or programming, simply a name change to reflect our merger.
Operating hours for the Center are 7:45-5:00, Monday - Friday in a year round context.
Teachers at the child development center work in a professional, collaborative, team-based culture and are inspired by the schools of Reggio Emilia, Italy and a social-constructivist pedagogy.
In response to the current climate in early childhood education we have been thoughtful about our culture to reflect additional center closure days to our calendar to accommodate our Teacher's lives outside of work; teacher work time and working hours.

Successful candidates are professionals who are passionate about the art of teaching and committed to staying current on child development research and best practice in the field of Early Childhood Education. They are filled with an attitude of respect, anticipation, wonder and joy and are skilled at preparing environments, materials and experiences that support children’s creativity, learning and daily well-being.
