Where Early Childhood Education Meets Family Experience

The Learning Experience – Gaithersburg is seeking a warm, energetic, and highly personable Family Engagement Specialist to help create an exceptional experience for current and prospective families.

This is a unique hybrid role for someone who understands childcare but also loves working with people. You'll spend part of your day welcoming families, answering questions, supporting enrollment conversations, conducting tours, and building relationships—and you'll also be comfortable stepping into classrooms when our teaching teams need additional support.

The ideal candidate has preschool or daycare experience, speaks both English and Spanish, and brings the confidence and customer-service mindset often found in hospitality, retail, sales, or other family-facing roles.

  • Connect with prospective families and help them learn about our programs

  • Support family events, community outreach, and enrollment initiatives

Classroom Support

  • Step into Infant, Toddler, Preschool, and other classrooms when additional support is needed

  • Assist teachers with classroom routines, transitions, meals, activities, and supervision

  • Engage positively with children through play and developmentally appropriate activities

  • Help maintain required classroom ratios and a safe learning environment

  • Work collaboratively with teachers and center leadership

What We're Looking For

  • Fluent/bilingual in English and Spanish required

  • Previous professional experience in a preschool, daycare, childcare center, or early childhood education environment strongly preferred

  • Strong customer service and relationship-building skills

  • Previous sales, retail, hospitality, customer service, or enrollment experience is a major plus

  • Comfortable speaking with prospective families and conducting tours

  • Confident, outgoing, organized, and professional

  • Able to move comfortably between administrative/family-facing responsibilities and classroom support

  • Must meet Maryland childcare licensing requirements applicable to classroom support

What We Offer

  • $27 per hour

  • Full-time Monday–Friday schedule

  • A unique role combining early childhood education, family engagement, and enrollment

  • Professional development and opportunities for advancement

  • Employee childcare discount

  • Supportive leadership and collaborative team environment

U.S. Equal Opportunity Employment Information (Completion is voluntary)

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

You are being given the opportunity to provide the following information in order to help us comply with federal and state Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action record keeping, reporting, and other legal requirements.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
