Few jobs matter more than caring for someone's baby. As our Lead Infant Teacher in Laurel, you'll create a safe, nurturing, developmentally rich room where every infant gets loving, individualized care and every family feels truly informed.
What you'll do- Give each infant loving, responsive care that follows their own feeding, sleeping, and diapering schedule.
- Support milestones with tummy time, sensory play, music, reading, and lots of language.
- Plan and lead developmentally appropriate lesson plans, and observe and document each child's progress.
- Practice safe sleep procedures and active supervision at all times, following licensing regulations and Sunshine Academy policies.
- Keep diapering records accurate and sanitize toys, equipment, and materials daily.
- Share daily updates, notes, and photos through our parent app, and build warm, trusting relationships with every family.
- Keep the classroom calm, clean, organized, and stocked, and pitch in to help other classrooms when needed.
- Level 2 or higher on the Montana Practitioner Registry, or 2+ years of experience in a licensed early childhood program, a CDA, a BA or Associate degree in Early Childhood Development, or an accredited preschool certification.
- Current infant, child, and adult CPR/AED, infant choking response, and standard and pediatric first aid (CPR completed in a hands-on class).
- Current on the ECP Practitioner Registry, including its annual training hours.
- Current MMR and Tetanus immunizations.
- Able to lift 45 pounds and move easily up and down from the floor.
- A calm, flexible, professional presence who keeps family and coworker information confidential.
We believe every child is uniquely prepared, eager to learn, and full of potential. Our mission is to partner with parents to provide a safe environment that fosters adventure, exploration, and a lifelong love of learning.
Rooted in the Montana Early Learning Standards, our program pairs hands-on discovery with real life lessons. We hold our whole team to five pillars:
Safe, Nurturing, Reliable, Positive, and Enriching.
