  • Comfortable singing, dancing, narrating, and being silly

  • Understanding of toddler development and age‑appropriate expectations

  • Reliable, consistent, and able to follow classroom systems

  • Experience in childcare or early education preferred

  • CDA, Associate’s Degree, or Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education (or related field) strongly preferred — and qualifies you for our higher pay tier
