Position: Infant Assistant Teacher - Who the Smallest Moments Matter to THE MOST!

For Those Who Know the Smallest Moments Matter Most

At Magical Beginnings
, our Infant classrooms are built on trust, consistency, and deep relationships. Since 1990, we’ve created education-first environments where babies are cared for with intention — and where educators are supported, trained, and valued.

We are hiring an Infant Assistant Teacher to support children ages 6 weeks to 15 months
. This is a hands-on, heart-forward role for someone who finds joy in nurturing routines, early milestones, and building secure attachments during a child’s very first year of learning.

If you love babies, value teamwork, and want to grow in Early Childhood Education, this could be the perfect place to start — or continue — your career.

What You’ll Do Each Day:
  • Support the lead infant teacher in providing responsive, nurturing care
  • Assist with feeding routines, bottle prep, diapering, and safe sleep practices
  • Help maintain infants’ individualized schedules for feeding and sleeping
  • Engage babies through talking, singing, reading, and floor-based play
  • Support early motor development through tummy time, crawling, and movement
  • Observe and help document developmental milestones (rolling, sitting, babbling)
  • Provide comfort during transitions, separation, and moments of distress
  • Maintain a clean, safe, and calm classroom environment
  • Follow all infant care, health, safety, and EEC policies
  • Communicate with families alongside the classroom teacher
  • Work closely with your teaching team to ensure consistency and care

Remark:
This is a physically active role that includes time on the floor, lifting up to 50 lbs, and being on your feet most of the day.

You’ll Thrive in This Role If You:
  • Genuinely love caring for infants and supporting early development
  • Are calm, patient, and attentive to detail
  • Enjoy routines, structure, and consistency
  • Work well as part of a close-knit teaching team
  • Want to grow your skills and education in Early Childhood Education
  • Communicate warmly and respectfully with children, families, and colleagues
