Bilingual (Spanish-English) Family Child Care Tool Kit Licensing Coordinator

Description:

All Our Kin, Inc., a nationally-recognized, Connecticut-based nonprofit organization that trains,

supports, and sustains community child care providers to ensure that children and families have the

foundation they need to succeed in school and in life, seeks a Tool Kit Licensing Coordinator to work in

the greater Bridgeport area to support new child care providers in obtaining their state licenses and

successfully opening their family child care programs. This is a full time position.

All Our Kin first opened its doors in a New Haven housing development in 1999 with two staff members,

six mothers, six children, and one core belief: all children deserve access to high-quality early learning

opportunities. As Connecticut has explored ways to sustain high-quality child care in a time of great

economic hardship, communities and agencies throughout the state have sought to learn from and

build on All Our Kin’s best practices. In response to this demand, All Our Kin expanded beyond New

Haven, and is currently serving providers in Bridgeport, Norwalk, and Stamford; and is in the process of

expanding into New York City. Today, we serve over 400 family child care providers; these parents and

educators in turn serve over 2,400 children in our community. To learn more about our work, please

We are searching for enthusiastic team players who are looking to make an impact and are excited

about being a part of an effective, growing and dynamic nonprofit organization. We offer competitive

salary and benefits, a flexible schedule, and the opportunity to work with a team of skilled and

motivated professionals. All Our Kin has offices in New Haven, Bridgeport, Stamford and New York

City.
