At Mt. Hood Meadows and Cooper Spur Mtn. Resort our mission is enriching the lives of our team, guests, and community. We believe this is a place where feeling a sense of belonging, rocking the team and guest experience, and exceeding expectations leads to your life being enriched.

Position Overview

Are you passionate about early childhood education and love the idea of working in a unique, mountain environment? Join the Mt. Hood Meadows Daycare team as a Daycare Teacher and make a difference in the lives of children while enjoying the vibrant energy of a seasonal resort community.

As a Daycare Teacher, you'll be responsible for creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for young children; all while collaborating with a supportive team and surrounded by the natural beauty of Mt.

If you're adaptable, team-oriented, and ready to bring your enthusiasm and expertise to a fast-paced, guest-focused setting, this is the perfect opportunity for you.
