Infant Childcare Provider (Assistant Teacher)

We are looking for someone to fill an assistant teacher position in our infant classroom. The schedule includes two 10 hour days (Tuesday and Thursday) with additional subbing opportunities based on your availability (roughly 20 hours weekly with the possibility for more hours on weeks where other teachers are out sick / on vacation / etc...). This position would be as the third teacher (alongside two others) for 8 infants total. The classroom total is less after the summer, so the schedule could change some in August.

A high school diploma or equivalent is required; applicants must be able to pass a background check (paid for by the center).

General Job Description:

Assistant teachers work alongside lead teachers, under the supervision of the Director, to assist in the general maintenance of the classroom as well as the execution of lesson plans and the activities within them. The overall purpose of this position is similar to the lead teacher position (i.e. ensuring the health, safety, and welfare of the children in their classroom, staying up-to-date on developmentally appropriate practices (DAP) as well as Tennessee’s licensure rules and regulations, etc…), but it comes with fewer responsibilities. Additionally, it is essential that all teaching staff follow the philosophies of WRCCC & work towards furthering the goals of the center.

Daily responsibilities are dependent on the age of the children in the classroom, but, in general, they include:

❖ Greeting parents (and children) at pick-up and drop-off; obtaining information from parents that might be necessary for the care of their children; readying children and their belongings to go home

❖ Participating in and assisting with all classroom and outdoor activities, transition periods throughout the day, meal times, naptime, outdoor play etc…

❖ Assisting with children’s bathroom routines

❖ Taking instruction and guidance from lead teachers / going to the lead teachers for support when necessary

❖ Cleaning and preparing the classroom each day

Periodic Responsibilities include:

❖ Attending necessary annual training as well as staff meetings

❖ Staying up-to-date on DAP and other developments in the childcare field

❖ Informing parents about day-to-day activities of their children & contacting parents when illness / injuries arise (in absence of the lead teacher)
