Infant Lead Teacher

Merritt Academy is seeking a warm, nurturing, and enthusiastic Lead Infant Teacher who loves working with babies and understands just how important their first year of learning and development can be. You’ll create a safe, loving, and engaging classroom where infants can explore, build trusting relationships, and develop through play, sensory experiences, language, movement, and responsive caregiving.

As our Lead Infant Teacher, you’ll lead and collaborate with your classroom teaching team to provide exceptional care while maintaining consistent routines for feeding, diapering, safe sleep, supervision, and classroom organization. You’ll observe and support each infant’s individual development, build meaningful partnerships with families, and keep parents connected to the special moments happening throughout their child’s day. We’re looking for someone who brings patience, positivity, dependability, and a genuine love for babies to the classroom each day.
