Infants / Toddler Teacher Job Opening

Job Description
Salt Lake's premier child care center, SMALL WORLD CHILD CARE, has been providing quality child care for our community for over 42 years! We have 2 locations to better serve our community, located in West Jordan and West Valley City. We are currently looking to add a Full Time Babies/Toddler Teacher to our team at our West Valley center location. We have a great environment with awesome staff members & benefits offered!

Responsibilities
Small World needs individuals who are comfortable working with all ages, 6 weeks to 12 years, enjoy being part of a team, and are punctual and dependable. Each staff member should bring positivity and encouragement into their work environment. This position needs to be filled by someone who has a strong personality but is also a lot of fun. Teachers need to be well organized and able to implement our curriculum for our youngest friends through planning fun and interactive lessons and activities. Teachers should always be actively engaged with the children. We need someone that is super sweet, loving, fun and happy. Babies need lots of positive attention! Infant care requires detailed procedures for feeding, record keeping, diapering, and cleaning that must be followed to ensure the safety of our little ones. We enjoy a positive work environment; we need people who will work well and maturely with others. To achieve this, gossip and drama are neither welcome nor tolerated in our centers, but rather positivity and support for one another are encouraged and enjoyed.

Qualifications

Must be at least 18 years old. Must be physically able to pick up children (up to 50 lbs) repeatedly throughout the shift and be able to get down on the floor with them. Experience in child care is a plus, but not necessarily required. Having a current Child Development Associates (CDA) is preferred. Must be able to speak, read, and write in English both fluently and well. All applicants must pass a federal background check, have, or be willing to get, a current food handler’s permit, and become first-aid certified. Must enjoy being around kids and having fun! Must be comfortable speaking in front of a room of children and with parents, in both a kind and respectful manner. Experienced teachers in a child care or school classroom setting are preferred, but if this sounds like something you would enjoy, please contact us!
