Love Working With Infants? Build Their First School Experience With Us.

Sacramento Montessori School is looking for a warm, nurturing, dependable Infant Teacher who understands that caring for babies is about much more than keeping them safe.

It's about building trust.

It's about responding when a baby needs comfort.

It's about talking, singing, reading, and connecting throughout the day.

And it's about creating a calm environment where babies can develop at their own pace.

If you are passionate about infants and want to be part of a supportive Montessori school, we would love to meet you.

Why Join Sacramento Montessori School?

We want our teachers to feel supported and valued.

As part of our team, you will receive:

• $22–$26 per hour
• 50% employee childcare discount
• Montessori guidance and training
• Opportunities for professional development
• A warm Montessori classroom environment
• Support from experienced teachers and administrators
• Opportunities to grow within the school
• The opportunity to build meaningful relationships with infants and their families
• A team committed to providing high-quality early childhood care and education

What You'll Do

As an Infant Teacher, you will help provide a safe, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate environment for babies during one of the most important stages of their development.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Providing loving, attentive care throughout the day
• Responding appropriately to each infant's individual needs and cues
• Supporting feeding, diapering, sleeping, and daily routines
• Holding, comforting, talking, singing, and engaging with infants
• Supporting infants as they develop movement, coordination, communication, and independence
• Providing age-appropriate Montessori experiences and activities
• Encouraging tummy time, movement, exploration, and sensory experiences
• Maintaining a clean, organized, and peaceful classroom
• Following safe sleep, health, and sanitation practices
• Maintaining appropriate supervision and teacher-to-child ratios
• Communicating respectfully and professionally with parents and families
• Recording daily information and communicating important updates about each child
• Working collaboratively with your teaching team
• Following California licensing requirements and school policies
• Participating in staff meetings and professional development

We Are Looking For Someone Who Is:

• Attentive to children's individual cues and needs
• Calm under pressure
• A strong communicator
• Comfortable working as part of a team
• Passionate about early childhood development
• Respectful toward children, families, and coworkers
• Interested in learning about Montessori education

Montessori Experience Is a Plus — But Not Required

You don't need to be a Montessori expert to join our team.

If you are an experienced infant teacher or early childhood professional who wants to learn Montessori, we are willing to provide training and support for the right candidate.

Experience with infants in a preschool, childcare center, nanny setting, family childcare home, Early Head Start, or similar environment is welcome.

We Believe Infant Care Is Education

Our youngest children deserve intentional, respectful care.

Every diaper change is an opportunity for connection.

Every feeding is an opportunity for communication.

Every movement is an opportunity for development.

Every interaction helps build the foundation for future learning.

Our goal is to create an infant environment where children feel safe, loved, respected, and capable.

If you believe in that kind of care, we want you on our team.

Ready to Join Us?

We are actively interviewing and would love to meet you.
