Little Seeds Classroom

Infant Lead Teacher

Do you light up when a baby reaches a new milestone? We're looking for a nurturing, attentive Lead Teacher to guide our infant classroom — building secure relationships and a safe, developmentally rich environment for our youngest learners.

  • Infant care & development

    • Provide attentive, responsive, individualized care — feeding, diapering, sleeping, tummy time, sensory play, and safe-sleep practices

    • Talk, sing, read, and play intentionally to build motor, language, cognitive, social, and emotional skills

    • Recognize and respond to each infant's individual cues and routines

    Curriculum & classroom leadership

    • Plan age-appropriate activities and document each child's development and milestones

    • Guide and support Assistant Teachers and Classroom Assistants; model warm, professional interactions

    • Maintain a clean, organized, and stimulating classroom

    Family partnership

    • Build trusting relationships with parents and guardians

    • Share daily updates on feeding, sleeping, and milestones with professionalism and care

  • A nurturing, patient teacher who notices every cue, shows up dependably, and genuinely enjoys caring for babies. Someone organized enough to manage routines and documentation, and collaborative enough to work closely with families, teammates, and leadership — while always keeping children's health and safety first.

    • At least 18 years old, with a high school diploma or equivalent

    • Previous experience caring for or teaching infants in a group child care or early childhood setting

    • Understanding of infant development and developmentally appropriate practices

    • Able to meet Virginia requirements for a classroom Program Leader/Lead Teacher by your start date

    • Able to pass required background checks and complete employment documentation

    • Willing to complete required child care, health, safety, and professional development training
