The Learning Experience of Astoria is seeking experienced, dependable, and adaptable Part‑Time Floating Assistant Teachers to support multiple classrooms across our center.

A Floating Assistant is a vital part of our team. This is not a “substitute” role – it is a professional position requiring confidence, flexibility, and strong classroom skills.

You will move between classrooms (Infants through Preschool) based on daily needs. This requires someone who:

• Is comfortable working with all age groups
• Can quickly adjust to different classroom routines
• Jumps in immediately and supports without hesitation
• Helps children feel safe and comfortable – even when faces change
• Thrives in a fast‑paced, structured environment

If you prefer having the exact same routine every day, this role may not be the right fit. If you are adaptable, proactive, and confident across age groups – we would love to meet you.

• Minimum 3 years of experience working in a licensed daycare center
• Experience working with multiple age groups (infants, toddlers, preschool)
• Strong understanding of classroom management and daily structure

Only candidates with verifiable daycare experience will be considered.

• ✔️ Consistently punctual and reliable
• ✔️ Flexible and comfortable with daily changes
• ✔️ Calm and nurturing with infants, energetic and engaging with older children
• ✔️ Positive team contributor
• ✔️ Able to follow classroom leadership and center policies
• ✔️ Strong understanding of child development and early learning practices

• Supporting Lead Teachers in various classrooms throughout the day
• Assisting with routines (diapering, feeding, toileting, transitions, etc.)
• Maintaining safety, supervision, and licensing compliance at all times
• Engaging children in developmentally appropriate activities
• Helping maintain a clean, organized environment
• Providing stability and warmth – even when rotating between rooms

Floating Assistants play a critical role in maintaining ratios, structure, and consistency. Children thrive when adults are dependable and confident – and that is what we expect from our team.

Someone who:

• Is adaptable and solution‑oriented
• Can walk into any classroom and immediately contribute
• Understands that early childhood stability matters – even in flexible roles
• Takes professionalism and punctuality seriously
• Loves being part of a strong, supportive team

• Competitive hourly rate: $16–$18 per hour
• Structured, professional work environment
• Supportive leadership team
• Opportunity to work with multiple age groups and expand your skill set
