Little moments. Lasting impact.
A comforting voice, a familiar routine, a child’s first discovery—your care makes a difference. Families & Communities Rising, Inc. is seeking a patient, nurturing Infant Toddler Teacher to help our youngest learners feel secure, explore their world, and build early skills.
Join our Head Start/Early Head Start team and build meaningful relationships with children and families during these important early years.
What You Will Do
-
Make learning meaningful. Work with your co-teacher to plan daily routines and weekly lessons that meet each child’s needs, using the Creative Curriculum for Infants and Toddlers.
-
Build trust through responsive care. Respond warmly to children’s verbal and nonverbal cues and make feeding, diapering, toileting, and rest times nurturing opportunities for growth.
-
Create a welcoming classroom. Maintain a safe, accessible, culturally appropriate learning space with engaging materials and predictable experiences.
-
Support each child’s development. Observe progress, document learning, and use positive guidance during play and daily routines.
-
Partner with families. Communicate daily, complete at least two parent conferences and two home visits each year, and invite parents to participate in their child’s learning.
-
Encourage healthy routines. Provide safe outdoor play throughout the year and participate in family-style meals when children are developmentally ready.
-
Keep care safe and organized. Follow health, sanitation, licensing, fire safety, and Head Start standards; maintain attendance and meal records; and help with routine classroom cleaning.
-
Work as a team. Collaborate with colleagues, protect confidentiality, report maintenance or supply needs, and follow FCR policies and procedures.
-
Provide consistent care. Transition with your group from infancy through toddlerhood whenever feasible, helping children maintain familiar, trusting relationships.
What You Will Bring
-
An Infant-Toddler CDA, an Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education or Child Development, or a related degree with sufficient early childhood education credits.
-
At least two years of teaching experience with children under 36 months.
-
Strong written and verbal communication skills for family partnerships, teamwork, and accurate recordkeeping.
-
A commitment to quality care and developmentally appropriate learning.
-
The warmth, patience, and consistency to help children feel nurtured and secure.
-
Enthusiasm for engaging families and supporting them throughout their child’s early learning experience.
