Lead Infant Teacher

Full-time

Spring Education Group

Spring Education Group’s Early Childhood Education Division includes nearly 150 schools offering services from infant care through Pre-K/K programs, as well as summer camp and after-school programs. Our locations span a nationwide geographic footprint and a diverse array of pedagogical approaches — including our proprietary Links to Learning curriculum that draws from the collective expertise of renowned early-age educators such as Dewey, Piaget and Vygotsky; Montessori schools that embrace both accredited Montessori methods – AMI (Association Montessori Internationale) and AMS (American Montessori Society); and progressive language immersion programs in Mandarin and Spanish.

Chesterbrook Academy is seeking a loving and attentive Lead Infant Teacher to join our team . Our infant program provides a safe, nurturing environment where the youngest learners can explore, grow, and reach important developmental milestones — all while feeling secure and supported.

As an Infant Teacher, you’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Provide a warm, responsive, and engaging classroom experience that supports each child’s individual needs.
  • Build strong, trusting relationships with families through daily communication and care updates.
  • Create a safe and stimulating classroom environment where infants can develop curiosity, confidence, and early learning skills.
  • Collaborate with your teaching team to maintain consistent routines, meet licensing standards, and uphold our school’s commitment to excellence.

Qualifications

  • Must be at least 19 years old and meet state licensing requirements.
  • Prior experience in a licensed childcare center preferred.
  • Must have CDA, or AA degree/Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education or at least 60 credits with 6 credits in Early Childhood/Child Development
  • A nurturing personality with patience, flexibility, and a genuine love for working with babies.
  • Authorization to work in the United States

Why Join Chesterbrook Academy

  • Competitive pay and benefits.
  • Professional growth and training opportunities.
  • Supportive, team-focused work environment.
  • A chance to make a meaningful impact in children’s earliest years of learning.

If you’re ready to create a loving, enriching environment where infants can thrive — and to help us continue developing the best schools and educators in America— apply today!
