Educators -

Are you looking for a way to continue your impact on the lives of children, but outside the walls of a classroom? If you're a creative thinker, a problem-solver, an empathetic listener, a multi-tasker who remains flexible AND you want to put your teaching experience to good use in another role, Kaplan Early Learning just might be the answer.

We're looking for an individual who isn't afraid of hard work, and someone who can provide solutions for teachers and programs in the early childhood field. You don't have sales experience? Sure you do! You've been creatively engaging children on all manner of subject areas, and you've found innovative ways to reach even the most reluctant learners. We can put those skills to good use, and we encourage you to continue to help, but in a different way - as a Territory Sales Manager. You'll guide other educators by making product recommendations, exploring our professional development services, providing delivery assistance, and turnkey solutions in Kansas, Missouri & Nebraska.
