This is a hands-on, supportive role ideal for someone passionate about early childhood education and eager to grow within a reflective, team-oriented environment.

  • Provide Nurturing Care: Help with feeding, diapering, dressing, and supporting the daily routines of infants with attentiveness and care.
  • Promote a Calm, Responsive Environment: Use gentle redirection and modeling to guide behavior. Support circle time, small group explorations, and transitions throughout the day.
  • Engage in Professional Learning: Attend staff development sessions and Reggio-inspired training opportunities. Participate in team meetings and reflective conversations about classroom practices and child development.
  • Team Collaboration: Communicate regularly with the lead teacher and administrative team. Contribute ideas and reflections to help deepen classroom work and relationships.

Qualifications:
