Infant + Toddler Teacher St. Michael’s Episcopal Day School

Infant & Toddler Teacher

At St. Michael’s, our Infant + Toddler program is intentionally small, deeply relational, and rooted in the belief that the earliest years of life set the foundation for everything that follows. If you’re someone who loves being part of a joyful, collaborative team and you want to work in a program where your work truly matters, we would love to meet you.

What You’ll Do

As an Infant + Toddler Teacher, you’ll join a dedicated, supportive team that provides responsive, nurturing care while creating a warm, engaging environment where infants and toddlers feel known, safe, and celebrated. Our teachers work together closely, communicate openly, and share a commitment to high-quality early education.

You will:

• Build trusting relationships with children and families

• Provide responsive care and support children’s emotional and physical needs

• Create thoughtful routines that help little ones feel secure and confident

• Offer sensory-rich, language-forward, hands-on experiences every day

• Support early developmental milestones (self-feeding, communication, motor skills, early toileting, etc.)

• Maintain organized, safe, joyful classrooms with attention to detail

• Collaborate with teammates in a highly supportive teaching community

• Maintain school ratios and uphold program standards consistently

• Communicate with families through daily notes, photos, and shared moments

What Makes Our Program Special

Our infants and toddlers benefit from:

• Small class sizes that allow for meaningful connection

• Daily sensory explorations, music, movement, reading, studio art, Spanish, and outdoor play

• Consistent field experiences—we treat Forest Park, DeMun Park, and the WashU butterfly garden as extensions of our classroom

• A community that values warmth, professionalism, teamwork, and developmental excellence

• A school culture that celebrates childhood and honors the work of early educators

What We’re Looking For

Candidates should:

• Have a genuine passion for working with infants and toddlers

• Be organized, dependable, and detail-oriented

• Enjoy working in a collaborative, team-based environment

• Approach children with patience, warmth, and respect

• Hold a high school diploma (early childhood coursework or experience preferred but not required)

Compensation & Benefits

We offer:

• Competitive starting wages

• Benefits available for full-time and part-time roles

• PTO

• A fun, positive, caring work environment

• A retirement plan after one year

• Additional days off throughout the school year

About St. Michael’s

Our Infant & Toddler Program is designed to be a child’s first experience of community—a safe and joyful place where they explore, grow, and begin to understand the rhythms of school life. Teachers intentionally curate hands-on, play-based experiences that nurture curiosity, independence, and confidence. We partner closely with families and take pride in offering consistent communication and authentic relationships.
