Daycare Teacher - Crawlers​/Walkers

Summary

We are hiring 1 toddler expert to start in December at our brand new center! We have added a new infant room and we are quickly filling with new families, so we need more staff! Our facility is brand new, with tons natural light, a great culture of teamwork, and amazing kids/families. We value outdoor time - even our smallest babies go outside twice a day for walks.

We think this improves mental health for our kiddos and our staff! The position is between 7:15 and 5:30 with a half hour break in the middle of the day for lunch. We staff the center with two extra people so we are able to give bathroom breaks, drink refills, etc. This staff member would be working with babies from 6 weeks - 9 months.

Patience, a love for footprint art, and great communication towards parents is a must!
