Lead Teacher – Busy Bee’z (1-Year-Old Classroom)

Lead Toddler Teacher – Busy Bee’z Classroom

Little People’s World LLC

At Little People’s World, our Busy Bee’z classroom is filled with curious, energetic one-year-olds who learn through movement, routines, relationships, and hands-on discovery.

We are seeking a dependable, experienced, and confident Lead Toddler Teacher who can take ownership of the classroom, guide assistant teachers, and maintain a safe, organized daily routine. This is a true classroom leadership position—not simply a childcare supervision role.

The right person will be nurturing but structured, confident but teachable, and able to lead without needing constant direction from management.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the complete classroom schedule, including meals, diapering, naps, learning activities, outdoor play, and transitions
• Plan and provide developmentally appropriate activities for one-year-old children
• Actively supervise children and remain attentive throughout the entire day
• Guide assistant teachers, delegate classroom responsibilities, and model professional practices
• Maintain a clean, organized, and welcoming classroom
• Follow all licensing, sanitation, safety, ratio, and supervision requirements
• Complete accurate daily documentation in Procare, including meals, diapering, naps, activities, photos, and incident reports
• Communicate respectfully and professionally with families, coworkers, and leadership
• Recognize concerns and communicate them promptly to management
• Help children develop language, social-emotional skills, independence, and positive routines

What a Successful Day Looks Like

• Children are safe, engaged, nurtured, and actively supervised
• The classroom follows a predictable and age-appropriate routine
• Diapering, meals, naps, activities, and documentation are completed on time
• Assistant teachers understand their responsibilities and work together respectfully
• Families receive consistent communication and meaningful updates
• The classroom remains clean, calm, organized, and prepared for the next day

Who We’re Looking For

You may be a great fit if you:

• Have experience working with infants or toddlers in a licensed childcare setting
• Are comfortable taking ownership of a classroom
• Can confidently guide and support assistant teachers
• Are dependable, punctual, organized, and consistent
• Understand that reliable attendance is essential for maintaining safe childcare ratios
• Remain calm and patient in a busy environment
• Take initiative instead of waiting to be reminded of routine responsibilities
• Accept feedback professionally and apply corrections
• Genuinely enjoy interacting, playing, talking, and learning with young children
• Communicate respectfully, even during stressful moments

Minimum Requirements

• High school diploma or GED
• Previous professional childcare experience
• Ability to pass all required North Dakota childcare background checks
• CPR and First Aid certification, or willingness to obtain it
• Ability to meet North Dakota licensing qualifications for the position
• Ability to safely lift, carry, sit on the floor, bend, and remain active throughout the day

Early childhood education coursework, a CDA, or previous classroom leadership experience is strongly preferred.

Schedule

• Full-time position
• Monday through Friday
• Must be available to participate in the opening or closing rotation at least one day per week
• Consistent attendance and dependable arrival are required

What Success in This Role Requires

• Consistent, attentive supervision of children
• Active participation throughout the classroom day
• Confidence leading the classroom’s daily routine
• Dependable attendance and punctuality
• Professional and respectful communication
• Accurate completion of classroom documentation
• Consistent adherence to safety, sanitation, and licensing requirements
• Personal cellphones kept away while supervising children
