We're looking for experienced Infant Teachers who brings warmth, patience, creativity, and genuine joy into the classroom every day.

We hire for character, warmth, curiosity, and coachability. Skills can be developed, but attitude, integrity, and a genuine love for children are what build exceptional early educators.

As the Infant Teacher, you'll create and lead a classroom where children feel safe, loved, confident, and excited to explore the world around them.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Planning and implementing engaging, hands-on learning experiences
  • Creating a nurturing classroom built around curiosity and exploration
  • Supporting children's language, social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development
  • Building strong relationships with families through open communication
  • Leading daily routines with patience and consistency
  • Mentoring and collaborating with Assistant Teachers
  • Maintaining a clean, organized, welcoming classroom
  • Helping every child feel valued, capable, and successful
We're proud of the culture we've built. We believe in coaching instead of criticizing. Teamwork instead of workplace drama. Support instead of micromanagement. Growth instead of perfection.

You'll work alongside leaders who are approachable, coworkers who genuinely care about one another, and families who trust us with what matters most. When our teachers succeed, our children thrive.

This position is for a Lead Teacher. All applicants must meet Pennsylvania Lead Teacher qualifications.

  • A Child Development Associate (CDA) credential or an Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education (or another Pennsylvania-approved equivalent) from an accredited college or university is required.
  • Experience working with infants in a licensed childcare or preschool setting is required.
  • Strong understanding of child development and developmentally appropriate practices for infants.
  • Reliable, dependable, and professional with excellent communication skills.
  • Ability to lift up to 50 pounds in connection with the care of young children.
  • Must successfully complete all required Pennsylvania state background clearances and licensing requirements.
Come help shape the earliest and some of the most important chapters of a child's life.
