Do you have what it takes to be a hero in the eyes of a child?

At TLE Middletown NY, we’re not just looking for teachers — we’re looking for everyday superheroes. The kind who can:

• Rock a silly hat with confidence and sing the same song (in tune or not!) 20 times without losing your voice — or your mind.
• Read the same beloved book again (and again), all while doubling as a human jungle gym.
• Handle spontaneous toddler dance parties, pretend doctor visits, and imaginary hair salons like a pro.
• Decode toddler-speak, solve playground mysteries with Sherlock-level skill, and always know who took the last crayon.
• Offer endless hugs, infinite patience, and lightning-fast reflexes.

You might be the perfect fit if you:

• Thrive on laughter, sticky fingers, and unconditional love.
• Find joy in the little things (like glitter... everywhere).
• Believe every meltdown is just a misunderstood message.
• Wear an invisible superhero cape daily.

Responsibilities

• Provide a warm, safe, and nurturing environment for young children.
• Lead fun, developmentally appropriate activities that support social, emotional, and academic growth.
• Communicate with families and teammates with positivity and professionalism.
• Keep classrooms organized, clean, and full of joy (and maybe a little glitter).
• Maintain proper supervision and follow all daycare safety and licensing guidelines.
• Bring patience, creativity, and a genuine love for little learners every single day.
• Engage children with imaginative play and guided supervision as described in the responsibilities above.

Qualifications

• A CDA for infants/toddlers OR an Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education
• 3 years experience working with children preferred (but a big heart is a must!).
• Ability to pass background checks and meet state childcare requirements.
• Reliability, teamwork, and a good sense of humor are essential.
