Who Child-Parent Centers Is Hiring

The fair is posted on Pima County's Pima Works job openings calendar, and the organization's own flyer lists five openings: preschool lead teachers, preschool teachers, family educators, drivers and custodians.

That mix matters. You do not need a classroom background for every opening. Drivers and custodians are on the list right alongside teachers, and the family educator role centers on working with parents rather than running a classroom.

Child-Parent Centers runs Head Start and Early Head Start services for children from birth to age 5 and for pregnant women, with classrooms, home-based programs and family child care partners across Southern Arizona. Its website counts about 600 employees and 65 locations, which means openings can land well beyond the headquarters near South Tucson.

💪 Benefits on the Table

The flyer does not post pay rates for any of the five positions, so ask at the table, and ask whether the role is full year or follows the school calendar. What the organization does advertise is a solid benefits list:

Up to 26 paid holidays a year
Medical, dental and vision insurance
A retirement plan
An education benefit for qualifying positions

For someone already working in child care at a private center, that holiday count alone is worth a conversation.

✅ What to Bring and What to Know

Driver's license. It is first on the flyer's list, whatever role you are after.
Resume. Bring a few printed copies.
Proof of education. Head Start sets education standards for classroom staff, so diplomas, transcripts or credentials help sort you into the right role fast. The organization's careers page says an unofficial transcript showing your graduation date works if you can't find your diploma, and that education from outside the U.S. needs a formal evaluation, not just a translation.
No fingerprint card yet? That is not a dealbreaker. Child-Parent Centers says it will help new hires apply for and pay for an Arizona fingerprint clearance card.
