Infant & Toddler Preschool Teachers

Georgetown Hill Early School Bethesda, Maryland, United States

About this position

Infant & Toddler Preschool Teachers Wanted — Come Grow With Us!

Do you light up around babies? Do you find joy in a giggle, a first wobbly step, or a tiny hand wrapping around your finger? If you love creating a warm, nurturing space where little ones can thrive, we want you on our team!

About Georgetown Hill Early School

We’re a local non‑profit preschool on the rise — and we’re growing! Since 1980 , our mission has been simple: bring teachers, children, and families together to create the best early childhood experience around. We've been doing it for over 45 years, and we're just getting started.

Why You'll Love Working Here

Spoiler alert: we’re not your average daycare

Here, you get real creative freedom in the classroom, backed by our proven PLAN curriculum . Think structure and spontaneity — a place where your ideas matter and your growth is part of the plan.

Here’s what’s in it for you:

• Generous paid time off and paid holidays
• Paid planning time (yes, really!)
• Voluntary dental, vision, short-term disability & term life insurance
• 401(k) with employer match
• Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) eligible employer

We’re proud to be an inclusive workplace where every teacher, family, and child feels like they belong. We’re an equal‑opportunity employer that celebrates the diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences of our team.

Pay: $19–$23/hour, based on credentials and experience.

The Role

We’re opening brand-new rooms in our Infant program and looking for teachers to help us fill them with love, learning, and laughter. Pick the campus that feels like home:

• Build strong, trusting bonds with infants ages 6 weeks–12 months, supporting their growth every step of the way
• Create a safe, secure, and loving environment where babies feel cared for and confident
• Nurture each child’s physical, social–emotional, and developmental needs
• Lead by example within your classroom team
• Communicate warmly and effectively with children, families, colleagues, and the community
• Keep the classroom running smoothly with consistent, positive, and safe routines

What You’ll Bring

• 2–4 years of relevant experience
• MSDE 90hr Infant/Toddler Certification or CDA Certification with Infant/Toddler Endorsement (required)
• A solid grasp of child development principles and instructional strategies
• Strong knowledge of MSDE regulations
• A warm, friendly, unflappable personality (babies can tell!)
• Comfort with everyday tech tools like Microsoft Office (a plus)
• Great communication and writing skills
• Reliability you can set a clock to
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to juggle a few things at once
• A team‑first mindset

One more thing: per Maryland State Department of Education Office of Child Care regulations, all applicants must pass a state and federal background check as a condition of employment. Applicants for our federal center campuses must also obtain GSA security clearance through a government background screening.

Ready to make a difference in a baby's world, one day at a time? Apply today!
