What are the responsibilities and job description for the Toddler Teacher position at Building Bridges School for Early Learning?
Do you dream of doing something meaningful and rewarding with your career?...Think about becoming a toddler teacher! Working with young toddlers, you get to witness first steps, early language development, and endless curiosity for the world! Along with helping achieve so many important milestones, you are also laying the foundation for good habits over the rest of these youngsters' lives...teaching how to share and take turns, how to use words to ask for things, and how to contribute as a positive social member of their classroom, and later community. These children never leave you wanting for affection...seeking out laps for book-reading, high fives, and hugs constantly! You never leave work feeling like you need a hug - although you may need some alone time! And finally, as a toddler teacher, you keep your evenings and weekends free, so you CAN get that time!
