● Stay up to date with the latest developments in infant education and care.

Qualifications:

● Transition quickly and easily between sitting (chair or floor) and standing positions.

● Effectively manage children’s challenging behaviors.

● Demonstrate empathy and strong interpersonal skills to foster supportive, positive interactions with children and parents.

● Strong observational and analytical skills.

● Creativity in developing educational materials and activities.
