You’re not just looking for a job — you’re looking for a place to belong.

Welcome to St. Elizabeth’s, a nationally-accredited, 5-Star Quality Rated (Maine's highest) Childcare Center, where we’ve spent nearly six decades nurturing Maine’s youngest learners with warmth and creativity. Now, as we enter a new era, we’re looking for passionate educators like you to grow with us in welcoming families of all faiths!

We’re thrilled to be opening a newly-renovated, purpose-built facility in Cape Elizabeth — a space designed to meet the needs of children and educators alike. With age-specific classrooms and outdoor play areas, plus over 2,500 square feet of indoor gross motor space, this new home reflects everything we believe early childhood education should be: safe, inspiring, and centered on the people who bring it to life.

We’re hiring for:

• Preschool Teacher (Full Time) (ages 2.5–3.5)
• Assistant Teacher (Full Time) (ages 1.5-2.5)

What makes this opportunity special?

• You’ll start in our beloved Portland location — a historic space filled with heart.
• In early 2026, you’ll transition with us to Cape Elizabeth — a vibrant, coastal community just minutes away.
• Whether you’re leading circle time, exploring the outdoors, or helping a toddler take their first steps toward independence, you’ll be part of a team that values your voice, vision, and impact.

And yes, the benefits are great too: 

Why St. Elizabeth’s?

Because we’re creating more than a new facility — we’re creating a place where educators thrive. If you’re ready to feel proud of where you work — and who you work with — we’d love to meet you. Start with us in Portland. Grow with us in Cape Elizabeth.
