Every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. At WNCSource, our Children’s Services team helps make that possible every day.
Our early childhood programs serve children and families across Western North Carolina through Head Start, Early Head Start, NC Pre-K, and other early learning services.
Whether you’re an experienced educator, just beginning your career in early childhood, or supporting children and families in another role, you can make a lasting difference at WNCSource.
Working in early childhood is meaningful work—but it is also work that requires skill, patience, teamwork, and commitment.
At WNCSource, you’ll be part of a team working together to create safe, supportive learning environments where children can build the skills they need for school and life.
Your work directly impacts children and families in the communities we serve.
Teachers, family services staff, education specialists, health professionals, and support staff work together to meet the needs of the whole child and family.
Whether you're beginning your career or bringing years of experience, WNCSource offers opportunities to build your skills and take on new challenges.
Our programs are rooted in the communities where we live and work. You'll have the opportunity to build relationships with children, families, and community partners close to home.
