About the Role
Our Younger Toddler Teacher helps children ages 18 months - 2.5 years explore their world safely, confidently, and with lots of giggles.

Follow all state licensing rules, safety procedures, and center policies
Maintain a clean, organized, and developmentally appropriate environment
Communicate with families and leadership in a positive, professional way
Work as part of a team to keep routines smooth and kiddos happy

Comfortable singing, dancing, narrating, and being silly
Understanding of toddler development and age‑appropriate expectations
