• Observe and document each infant’s cues, temperament, and milestones (feeding, sleep, motor, early communication) and share information with director and families through our system on Tadpoles as required.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and calming environment, including sanitizing toys, equipment, and surfaces on an appropriate schedule, and preparing materials for daily routines. Housekeeping responsibilities are shared by the teaching team.
• Build strong relationships with families through daily verbal communication and written/app reports about feeding, diapering, sleep, and emerging skills. Able to administer medication.
• Lead and mentor assistant teachers and floaters assigned to the room, modeling best practices for infant care, assigning duties, and ensuring consistency with program policies.
• Follow center policies, state licensing standards, safe sleep guidelines, and program curriculum or framework for infants, keeping professional development file up to date.

• Meets state requirements for a lead infant teacher (e.g., age, education/credentials, and experience with infants in licensed care).
• Demonstrated experience caring for infants under 12 months, with strong understanding of infant cues, attachment, and early brain development with a minimum of 2 years in similar program.
• Current infant/child CPR and First Aid and any state‑required health/safety trainings, including safe sleep.
• Ability to communicate effectively with families and coworkers, maintain confidentiality, and collaborate as part of a professional team.
