Are you passionate about caring for infants and shaping a child’s very first experiences in the world?

At The Goddard School of Collegeville , our Infant Teachers play a meaningful role in helping babies feel safe, loved, and ready to grow. If you’re a nurturing, patient, and attentive caregiver who finds joy in the little moments—first smiles, first steps, and everything in between—we’d love to meet you.

We’re proud to offer more than just a job—we provide a supportive, team-oriented environment where teachers are truly valued. Our leadership team is hands-on and present, our classrooms are well-resourced, and our beautiful, state-of-the-art facility creates a calm, engaging space for both children and staff.

What makes us stand out:

• Competitive pay based on experience 
• Generous paid time off, including both personal PTO and school-wide holiday closures (paid week between Christmas and New Years!)
• No nights or weekends—ever
• A clean, modern facility in a convenient, desirable location (across from Providence Town Center)
• A positive, collaborative culture where you’re supported every day (and have fun!)

At Goddard, you’ll be part of a school that offers a premium early childhood experience —where children thrive and teachers feel respected, appreciated, and inspired.

If you’re looking for a role where your work truly matters—and a place that feels like a second home—we’d love to connect.
