Square One Expansion Brings New Opportunities for Employment, Enrollment

SPRINGFIELD — As excitement surrounding Square One’s expansion continues to build, the agency is welcoming applications for a variety of early education employment opportunities, as well as enrollment in its early education and care programs.

Families in need of care for their children, including infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-agers are encouraged to contact the agency’s enrollment team by calling (413) 732-5183 to learn about the variety of locations and curriculum opportunities available throughout Springfield. Sites include Educare Springfield on Hickory Street, the Tommie Johnson Child & Family Center on King Street, Christian Life Center on Sumner Avenue, and the agency’s new early education center on William Street.

“We are proud to offer a variety of options for our families so that we best meet the individual needs of each child,” said Maria Bedard, Square One’s vice president of Early Education & Care. “Beyond the convenience that comes with having multiple locations throughout the city, each of our centers offers a different philosophy of learning. We work with each individual family to support them in deciding which center would be the best fit for their child.”

The opportunities for early educators are equally diverse. Square One currently has openings ranging from part-time entry level positions to lead teachers to center directors.

“There’s never been a better time to join our team,” Bedard said. “We have a wonderful mix of new educators who bring fresh ideas and approaches to learning, paired with those who bring decades of tried and true experience working with young children. It’s the perfect blend.”
