Hetty's Brilliant Minds
Job Description
Job Description
Teacher (Lead)
Are you the kind of educator who sees a room full of energetic children and thinks, "Challenge accepted"? Do you believe that a day filled with finger paint, endless curiosity, and breakthrough "aha!" moments is the absolute best way to spend a career?
If you have a heart for early childhood education, a deep love for working with little ones aged 8 weeks to 38 months, and a desire to weave faith, love, and learning together, Hetty's Brilliant Minds wants you!
We are a Christian childcare center in Watervliet, NY, dedicated to nurturing the whole child spiritually, academically, and developmentally. We are looking for a Lead Toddler Teacher who is ready to inspire our youngest learners to explore, grow, and thrive.
Why You’ll Love Working HereLet’s be honest: teaching toddlers is a workout for your body, mind, and spirit. We make sure you are fully supported with a benefits package:
- Vacation Time to rest and recharge.
- Tuition Reimbursement & Professional Development Assistance to help you grow your own brilliant mind.
- Employee Discounts on childcare.
- Commuter Benefits. Pre-tax dollars used for travel
- Referral Programs because great people know great people.
As our Lead Teacher, you are the director of discovery. You won't just be managing a room; you’ll be creating an environment where success is celebrated, and learning is an adventure.
- Design the Adventure: Plan and execute engaging, curriculum-based lessons.
- Nurture & Guide: Help toddlers master the big stuff: sharing, expressing emotions, communicating, playing fairly, and expanding their vocabularies.
- Lead the Team: Provide leadership, guidance, and inspiration to assistant teachers and volunteers in your classroom.
- Partner with Parents: Keep families in the loop on their child's incredible milestones, progress, and daily achievements.
- Track the Growth: Observe, document, and assess each child's development.
- Keep it Safe & Sound: Maintain a vigilant, safe, and loving environment ensuring health and safety protocols are strictly followed.
- Local: You are ready to work at our center in Watervliet, NY 12189
If you are ready to bring your energy and your passion for teaching to a team that values your impact, we want to hear from you.
Requirements
Who You AreYou are patient, creative, and resilient. You know how to turn a transition into a song, a spill into a learning moment, and a routine into a fun game.
- Experienced: You have at least 2 years of experience in a childcare setting, with a specific soft spot for children age group (8 weeks–38 months).
- Credentialed: You hold a CDA in Infant/Toddler (an Associate Degree is a major plus!).
- Certified: You are current with your MAT, First Aid, and CPR certifications.
