Infant Room Co teacher

Do you love babies? Do you love playing with them, snuggling with them, making them giggle, watching them grow, and helping them develop their adorable little personalities? If so, we want you! We are looking for a high-energy, self-motivated, dependable teacher that can keep up with, engage, inspire, and be in our infant classroom. Don’t be fooled by their inability to walk—you won’t just be sitting around! You’ll be playing with them on the floor, picking them up for diaper changes, and engaging them with all sorts of different activities.

What we do and our beliefs

The mission of Little Scholars Development Center is to provide safe, affordable, high-quality childcare for the working family. We provide a comfortable and safe environment where children are encouraged to develop at their own pace while preparing them for kindergarten. Through student observation and family partnerships, we create individualized curriculum based on the students’ learning style and social-emotional needs. In doing so, we nurture the creation of a solid academic and social-emotional foundation, and it is this foundation that is the first step in ensuring our students’ academic success in the future.

Our Philosophy

Quality childcare is accomplished by engaging a child through listening, exemplification, respecting, and understanding their world view. It is our belief that only then can we help them to expand and explore their view, and this starts in infancy. As childcare providers, we must commit to exemplifying behavior that is reflective of the behavior that we wish to see in our students, as well as effectively guiding them in a manner that develops the whole child’s mind, body, and soul. We must offer the nurturing touch of a loved one and the educational support of a teacher.

Our Cultural Awareness Philosophy

We believe that Cultural Awareness should be an integral part of the childcare experience. A child should have the opportunity to see, hear, and experience various cultures. In doing so, we set the stage for this generation to function with less blinding stereotypes when it comes to people and customs that do not reflect their own.

Our Curriculum Philosophy

At Little Scholars, we strive to create curriculum that is holistic in its approach to building the necessary skills to learn, retain, and implement what is being taught on a day-to-day basis. We believe that curriculum should be designed to meet individual needs of the students. Curriculum should have a solid academic foundation in preparation for kindergarten. We believe that education is something that should be experienced, not just received through lecture or book. A child’s personal learning style and large and small group activities are all part of what we consider when creating our daily curriculum.

We are looking to fill this position immediately to allow for proper training.
