Infant Program Supervisor

Position Summary

The Infant Room Teacher is responsible for providing a safe, nurturing, clean, and developmentally appropriate environment for infants in our care. This position requires a caring and dependable individual who is comfortable working in a fast-paced classroom, responding quickly to children's needs, and working closely with other teachers as a team.

Our infant classroom relies heavily on teamwork, communication, cleanliness, active supervision, and efficient routines. Teachers are expected to work together, tag-team responsibilities, and step in to support one another throughout the day.

The ideal candidate is patient, attentive, organized, energetic, and genuinely enjoys caring for infants and supporting their early development.

Essential Responsibilities

• Provide attentive, responsive, and nurturing care to each infant.
• Maintain active supervision of all children at all times.
• Respond promptly to infants' needs, including feeding, diapering, soothing, sleep, and comfort.
• Follow each child's individual feeding, sleeping, diapering, and care routines.
• Recognize and respond appropriately to changes in an infant's behavior, mood, health, or development.
• Provide age-appropriate opportunities for tummy time, movement, exploration, sensory experiences, and social interaction.
• Create a warm and engaging environment where infants feel safe, secure, and supported.

• Work with the classroom team to ensure cleaning responsibilities are shared fairly.

Teamwork & Tag-Teaming

At Luna Acres, teamwork is essential.

Teachers are expected to:

• Communicate openly and respectfully with their classroom team.
• Tag-team responsibilities rather than waiting for another teacher to ask for help.
• Move efficiently between diapering, feeding, cleaning, supervision, and classroom responsibilities.
• Step in when another teacher is assisting an infant.
• Help maintain classroom ratios and supervision while completing necessary tasks.
• Communicate changes in routines, concerns, supplies, and children's needs with the classroom team.
• Support other classrooms when needed and when ratios allow.

Teachers are expected to:

• Record diaper changes promptly and accurately.
• Document meals and bottles accurately and in a timely manner.
• Record naps/sleep according to classroom procedures.

• Upload appropriate classroom photos and updates throughout the day.
• Communicate important information to families through Brightwheel when directed.
• Review Brightwheel information to stay aware of each child's daily needs and routines.
• Ensure documentation is completed throughout the day rather than being left until the end of the shift.

Family Communication

• Build positive, respectful relationships with families.
• Communicate professionally with parents and guardians.
• Share appropriate information about their child's day.
• Maintain confidentiality regarding children, families, and staff.
• Direct concerns, complaints, or sensitive issues to the Director when appropriate.
• Represent Luna Acres in a professional and welcoming manner.

The Infant Room Teacher is expected to:

• Arrive on time and ready to work.

• Stay engaged and actively supervising children.
• Limit personal phone use while working.

• Ask for help when needed and offer help when others need it.
• Maintain a positive attitude, even during busy or challenging periods.
• Follow all Luna Acres policies and procedures.
• Accept coaching and feedback professionally.
• Maintain professional boundaries with children, families, and coworkers.
