Caring for you, so you can care for children & families!
We believe that childcare is the most critical and neglected profession in society. We are building a network of modern early childhood programs serving infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.
We are looking for passionate, knowledgeable, and collaborative educators for our rapidly growing teaching team.
If early childhood development is your calling, Tinycare may be the place for you!
A career in childcare, not just a job.
Subsidized Housing
Tinycare provides subsidized housing for you and your family in a beautiful, modern apartment in San Francisco.
Intimate Communities
Tinycare’s ratios are about half that of a traditional childcare center. Create and build stronger, more intimate relationships with your children, families, and fellow educators.
Whole Child Development
Our Montessori & Reggio inspired curriculum & physical space is designed to focus on developing the whole child.
Growth Trajectory
Tinycare is rapidly expanding to new locations, so there is ample room to grow and take on more responsibility and leadership.
“I love how Tinycare prioritizes teacher well-being. Our team is so supportive and empowers teachers to focus on what we love — teaching!”
Housing for headteachers, so you can live in the communities you serve.
Renting an average one bedroom in San Francisco costs $43,488 per year, after taxes.
With preschool teacher’s salaries averaging a little over minimum wage, we think it’s tragic that early childhood educators can’t afford to live in the communities they serve. Sadly, resulting in many leaving the profession they love.
Our Head Teachers are provided subsidized housing in modern, luxurious apartments in San Francisco, and soon to be other cities!
We accommodate your family’s needs, whether you live alone, with a spouse, and/or have children.
Compensation & Benefits
Competitive compensation, subsidized housing, health benefits, and time off so you can have peace of mind.

Protecting lives & livelihoods during COVID-19.
As we prepare for a new normal and shelter-in-place is lifted, we want to make sure our entire staff and families feel 100% safe and comfortable working at Tinycare. We are going above and beyond CDC and SF Department of Public Health policies:
Access to tests and antibody tests
Access to PPE - gloves, masks, hand sanitizer, etc
14 days paid sick leave if you are positive with COVID-19
Smaller ratios and class sizes so less transmission risk
We were proud to keep everyone on payroll during this past shelter-in-place wave with reduced hours
