Magical Beginnings Learning Academy is urgently hiring a Certified Infant Teacher (EEC Certified) for our infant and toddler program in Middleton, MA (225 Maple Street). If you're an experienced infant teacher, infant/toddler teacher, or early childhood educator who loves the 6 weeks–15 months age group, we'd love to meet you.
At Magical Beginnings, we believe exceptional early childhood education begins with exceptional educators. As an Infant Teacher, you'll provide warm, responsive, and nurturing care during some of the most critical months of a child's development — building trust, security, and the foundation for lifelong learning. You'll build lasting relationships with children and families while working alongside experienced educators committed to collaboration, continuous learning, and providing the highest quality early education.
We're looking for educators who are gentle, attentive, and dedicated to creating a safe, loving environment where every infant feels secure and every teacher has the opportunity to thrive. Our motto is simple: With Care, We Care— for children, educators, and our communities. If you're ready to grow your career in early childhood education while making a lasting difference in the lives of young children, we'd love to welcome you to the Magical Beginnings family in Middleton.
You'll thrive in this role if:
- You bring a calm, gentle, and nurturing presence to everything you do
- You're attentive to even the smallest cues and changes in an infant's needs
- You find joy in the everyday moments — feedings, naps, tummy time, first steps
- You're patient, warm, and comfortable building trust with both babies and their families
- You take pride in creating a consistent, secure routine for the children in your care
- You value close, honest communication with parents about their child's day
Some requirements of the role include:

- Ability to spend extended periods of time on the floor with the children
- Ability to lift up to 50lbs
- Ability to stand up to 90% of the workday
- Attentiveness, strong time management, and a team-focused mindset

- Providing responsive, individualized care that supports each infant's development through gentle, age-appropriate activities
- Keeping parents informed and building positive relationships with children and families

- Tracking children's progress and completing required assessments
- Maintaining your EEC-required professional development hours and PQ registry
- Helping infants build a sense of security, trust, and early communication skills
