At Sprouts, we create warm, home-like environments for children ages 6 weeks to 6 years old at three licensed facilities in Bend's Orchard District.

At this time, we are seeking an experienced infant teacher to work with newborns and young infants under one year old. The qualities we seek are kindness, dependability, attention to detail, a genuine love for children, and the ability to work well with others. We hope to find someone with the knowledge and passion to help develop our newly established infant program.
