What are the responsibilities and job description for the Infant/Toddler Teacher position at Small Fry Daycare?
We are looking for Super Teachers to join our team of dedicated and caring Superheroes in a fun and healthy environment! We are looking for team members with the following superpowers or those willing to find theirs:
1. You MUST love to give hugs, survey the entire class, hold a crying toddler, have a pretend conversation “on the phone” into a block, and most of all eat pretend food like a champ!
2. You must not take yourself too seriously. If you can engage 8 two-year olds at the same time, you will look ridiculous, but it will all be worth it because they stopped what they were doing to watch you…MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
3. You must be able to sing “Baby Shark”, “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” and any other songs requested by your kiddos. Your tune is not important, your performance is a superpower!
4. You must be able to read a story while one child crawls in your lap, another tries to grab the book, and another one is telling you a completely different story. The ability to read in different accents and dialects is a major bonus!
5. You must be able to handle a meltdown and interpret crying, pointing, and lots of emotions as children develop language and learn to regulate emotions.
6. You must be comfortable navigating on the floor, sitting at a table and chairs that are a foot off the ground, and have the ability to lift small children in a single bound!
7. A stomach of steel is great! There will be sneezes, diaper changes, and the occasional spew. You will also develop a high level of comfort discussing bodily functions (don’t worry this is normal).
8. You must be prepared to laugh, love, and learn more about children that you ever have.
This is by far one of the most joyous jobs you will ever have, but you must be prepared to accept the challenges and benefits this job has to offer. Yes, there will days that the little darlins' send you home utterly exhausted, but you can't wait to come again, because you are their Superhero!
If you are ready to join a winning team where we laugh, have fun, and kick drama out the door, come see us! Just in case you need more info…yes, you must pass all background checks, have a high school diploma or GED, and be available to work between 6:00 A.M.-6:00 P.M. Monday through Friday ( no nights or weekends!!!). Experience is awesome, but we understand not everyone has found their superpower yet, so those with potential are welcome to apply.
