Are you passionate about caring for infants and shaping a child’s very first experiences in the world?
At The Goddard School of Collegeville, our Infant Teachers play a meaningful role in helping babies feel safe, loved, and ready to grow.

We’re proud to offer more than just a job—we provide a supportive, team-oriented environment where teachers are truly valued. Our leadership team is hands-on and present, our classrooms are well-resourced, and our beautiful, state-of-the-art facility creates a calm, engaging space for both children and staff.
What makes us stand out:
- Competitive pay based on experience
- Generous paid time off, including both personal PTO and school-wide holiday closures (paid week between Christmas and New Years!)
- No nights - No weekends—ever
- A clean, modern facility in a convenient, desirable location (across from Providence Town Center)
- A positive, collaborative culture where you’re supported every day (and have fun!)
At Goddard, you’ll be part of a school that offers a premium early childhood experience—where children thrive and teachers feel respected, appreciated, and inspired.
If you’re looking for a role where your work truly matters—and a place that feels like a second home—we’d love to connect.
