Are you passionate about caring for our youngest learners and known for being the calm, reliable presence who closes out the day right? WorldKids School is looking for an experienced Infant Specialist Closing Teacher to join our infant room team and help us give every family a smooth, joyful send-off at pickup time. WorldKids School is a vibrant, global community where children, teachers, and families from all over the world come together to share cultures and build a genuine sense of global awareness. We create a warm, nurturing environment where children feel secure enough to explore, grow, and gain confidence in who they are, all while immersed in Spanish and Mandarin language learning from infancy through age 6. In a full language immersion setting, even our youngest infants benefit from rich, natural language exposure that lays the foundation for true bilingual fluency later on. We're especially looking for someone with real, hands-on infant care experience, someone who knows the rhythm of bottle schedules, nap transitions, and tummy time, and who takes pride in leaving a classroom spotless and ready for the next day.
