Job Description

The One-Year-Old Teacher will work alongside a co-teacher, with both teachers sharing responsibility for the care, supervision, education, and daily routines of the children in the classroom. We are seeking someone who understands that young children learn best through play and who will bring patience, enthusiasm, creativity, and a sense of fun to each day.

About This Role

As a preschool—not simply a daycare—we provide age-appropriate learning experiences that support the whole child. Teachers use a provided curriculum to guide weekly planning and create engaging activities that encourage children’s social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and spiritual development. Because our center is a ministry of First Baptist Church, Bible stories, Christian songs, prayer, and simple lessons about God’s love are also incorporated into the children’s day.

What You'll Do

• Share classroom responsibilities and work cooperatively with the co-teacher
• Provide attentive and nurturing care for older one-year-olds
• Maintain a safe, clean, and well-organized classroom
• Plan and lead age-appropriate learning activities using the provided curriculum
• Include Bible stories, Christian songs, and prayer in the daily routine
• Encourage development through music, movement, stories, art, sensory play, and outdoor activities
• Assist children with meals, diapering, rest time, and other daily routines
• Communicate with families about their child’s day and development
• Maintain open communication with the Directors regarding classroom needs, concerns, and the children’s well-being
• Support the Directors and the daily operations of the center as needed
• Follow all center policies and licensing requirements

Requirements

• Must be at least 18 years old.
• Must have a high school diploma or equivalent.
• A minimum of 6 months previous experience working in a licensed child care facility
• Must be able to successfully pass all required background checks.
• Must be able to regularly lift and carry children weighing up to 40 pounds.
• Must be able to work in an active early childhood environment, including standing for extended periods, bending, kneeling, sitting on the floor, and getting up and down frequently.
• Must be comfortable assisting children with diapering, meals, rest time, and other personal-care routines.
• Must demonstrate patience, warmth, and an understanding of the developmental needs of young children.
• Must be dependable and able to report to work consistently and on time.
• Must be able to communicate professionally with families, co-workers, and Directors.
• Must be able to work cooperatively and share classroom responsibilities with a co-teacher.
• Must be willing to follow center policies, classroom procedures, and licensing requirements.
• Must be comfortable supporting the Christian mission of First Baptist Child Development Center.
• CPR and First Aid certifications are not required at the time of hire; however, employees will be expected to obtain these certifications when training is arranged through the center.

Nice To Haves

• Associate's or Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education
• CPR/First Certificate
• A willingness to take initiative and assist wherever needed
• Experience working in a Christian preschool or comfort incorporating faith-based activities into the classroom
• A genuine desire to grow professionally and participate in ongoing training
