Infant Teacher

Summary

Open Positions!

Little Scouts Teacher: Ages 6 Weeks to 12 Months

General Position Hours

Our School's hours of operation are from 7:30 to 4:30 Monday through Friday for our families. Teaching staff arrive at 7:15 to set-up classrooms and participate in round-up. At the end of the day teaching staff participate in something called 20-20-20 where they each get time to close their classrooms down, and someone is assigned as the lead closer. Depending on how long it takes closing and when the last child is picked up, teachers should ideally be able to start round-down at 4:30. Therefore, teachers may leave closer to 4:45. In this case, we offer something called early/late days, which is a day each week where teachers either come in late at 10:30 or leave early at 1:30. These days rotate between coming in late or leaving early each week.
