💛 Join a Team That Cherishes Every Milestone — Big or Small

At Sylvania Children’s Center, we believe every giggle, grasp, and gaze is a step toward growth.
We’re looking for an Infant Teacher who understands that caring for infants is both a science and an art — a blend of gentle consistency, responsive care, and joyful curiosity.

If you believe love is the foundation of learning, and you want to be part of a supportive, family-like team that values excellence and heart in equal measure, we’d love to meet you.

🌈 Who We Are

For over 30 years, Sylvania Children’s Center has been a trusted, family-centered early childhood program in the Toledo area.
We’re proud to be both NAEYC-accredited and Gold Step Up to Quality rated, upholding the highest standards in early care and education.

Our classrooms are calm, warm, and thoughtfully designed to foster connection and discovery — guided by our core values of Excellence, Wellness, Support, Nature, and Diversity.

✨ Your Role: Infant Teacher

As an Infant Teacher, you’ll provide consistent, responsive, and nurturing care to our youngest learners.
 You’ll support each child’s development through intentional interactions — from tummy time to first steps — while fostering a sense of security and belonging.

You’ll also partner closely with families, honoring their role as their child’s first teacher and keeping communication warm, open, and consistent.

💼 What You’ll Do

  • Build trusting, loving relationships with each infant in your care

  • Create a calm, predictable environment that supports exploration and emotional security

  • Plan simple, sensory-rich activities that stimulate early development and curiosity

  • Support infants’ routines — feeding, diapering, and rest — with care, patience, and respect

  • Communicate daily with families through notes, photos, and warm updates

  • Observe and document growth and milestones in alignment with developmental best practices

  • Collaborate with co-teachers and leadership to ensure a safe, consistent, and joyful classroom

🎓 What You Bring

  • CDA, Associate’s, or Bachelor’s in Early Childhood Education or related field (or actively pursuing)

  • Prior experience in an infant or early childhood classroom preferred

  • A calm, patient, and nurturing demeanor

  • Strong communication skills and teamwork mindset

  • Knowledge of infant development and responsive caregiving practices

🌟 What We Expect

  • Reliable, professional, and compassionate classroom presence

  • Consistency in routines that help infants feel secure and cared for

  • Observant, detail-oriented approach to each child’s developmental needs

  • Collaboration and open communication with your teaching team and families

  • Commitment to ongoing growth and professional excellence

💛 What We Offer

  • Paid weekly planning time built into your schedule

  • Collaborative co-teaching environment and classroom support

  • Paid mental health days and a workplace that values well-being

  • Paid in-service trainings and professional development opportunities

  • Clear advancement paths and leadership opportunities

  • A mission-driven, respectful culture where educators are truly valued
