We have great longevity among our administrators, directors, assistant directors, and teaching staff. At least 50% of our team members have been with RDCA for 5 years or more (a rare thing in child care!). It is not unusual to meet staff members who have been with RDCA for 15 years or more.
All staff must meet position specific criteria as required by our licensing agency; Maryland State Department of Education – Office of Child Care (MSDE-OCC), MSDE Accreditation standards, and Maryland EXCELS.

Qualified candidates will be forwarded to the center director where the position is being hired for.
The center director will email or call the applicant to establish an interview.
After the interview, candidates will be notified by the center director whether a job offer is being made, along with specifics about the offer. Those not considered for the position will receive an email. Applications will be retained for one year from the application date for future consideration.
Candidates who are offered positions will be given a specified period of time to accept or decline the offer (usually a few days).
