Creative Child Learning Center Schedule:

Full-time Creative Child Learning Center is seeking a nurturing, dependable teacher to lead our one-year-old classroom. This is a meaningful role for someone who delights in the early toddler stage — the first steps, first words, and big feelings — and who understands that consistency, warmth, and gentle routine are what help our youngest learners feel safe and thrive. What you'll do: You'll create a calm, loving, and well-organized environment where one-year-olds can explore and grow with confidence. You'll guide children through daily routines — meals, naps, diapering, and play — while building strong, trusting relationships with each child and keeping families informed and reassured throughout the day. You'll work closely with your co-teachers to maintain a consistent and engaging classroom.

Day-to-day responsibilities:

Provide attentive, responsive care that supports each child's development and emotional security. Lead age-appropriate activities that encourage early language, motor skills, and social growth. Maintain consistent daily routines for feeding, napping, and diapering. Keep the classroom clean, safe, and organized, including following safe sleep practices. Communicate warmly and clearly with families about each child's day and milestones. Partner with co-teachers and staff to maintain a nurturing, team-focused environment. Uphold all health, safety, and supervision standards at all times. Who we're looking for: A genuine love for working with one-year-olds and patience for their stage of development. Reliability, strong follow-through, and a positive attitude. A team-first mindset and good communication skills. A calm, attentive presence that children and families can count on. Energy and flexibility to keep up with active early toddlers.

Why Creative Child Learning Center:

Join a supportive, team-focused environment where teachers help one another and every staff member plays a real role in a child's growth and a family's peace of mind.

Required:

Cleared Level 2 background screening (fingerprinting through Florida DCF) before the first day of work — non-negotiable.

Willingness to complete the 40-hour DCF Introductory Child Care Training (Parts I & II), including the 5-hour Early Literacy and Language Development course — begun within 90 days and completed within the first year of employment. Commitment to 10 hours of annual in-service training as required by Florida DCF.
