Description

Summary

🌟 Join Our Growing Team at Brotman Early Learning Center! 🌟

We’re looking for a warm, nurturing, and enthusiastic Lead Teacher to join our team at Brotman Early Learning Center! We are a play-based, year-round program serving children from 6 weeks to 5 years old. Our days are active, joyful, and full of discovery—and we’re seeking a leader who enjoys guiding little learners while supporting a strong classroom team.

Our Infant-to-Waddler Transition Classroom (ages 1–1.5) is a very special space where children begin to gain independence, confidence, and curiosity. As the Lead Teacher, you’ll create a safe, loving, and engaging environment that supports early development through responsive caregiving, intentional play, and meaningful routines. These children thrive with teachers who provide comfort, consistency, and warmth—and who are excited to be on the floor, engaged in play, and celebrating every milestone.


💛 If you’re a caring, patient, and confident educator who loves working with toddlers and supporting a team, we’d love to meet you!

Come help us create a safe, playful, and loving space where our youngest learners can grow and thrive.

Duties

This classroom operates as a team of two, and the Lead Teacher plays a key role in planning curriculum, guiding daily routines, and mentoring the Assistant Teacher. You’ll work closely with administration and families to support each child’s individual needs and developmental growth.

At Brotman, you’ll be supported by a collaborative team and engaged families who truly value open communication and partnership. We believe in working together to create a positive, nurturing environment for both children and staff.
