Lead Infant Montessori Teacher

Cadence Education is hiring a full-time Lead Infant Montessori Teacher to join its caring, mission-driven team at the Boys Town, Douglas County location — a role built for early childhood professionals who are passionate about giving infants the strongest possible start in life.

About the Role

As Lead Infant Teacher, you will take ownership of a prepared Montessori environment designed specifically for the youngest learners. You'll guide a classroom team, partner closely with families, and translate Montessori philosophy into warm, responsive daily routines that honor each infant's pace and developmental stage.

What You'll Do

• Design and maintain an intentional, Montessori-aligned infant classroom that promotes sensory exploration, movement, and secure attachment
• Observe, document, and respond to each infant's individual developmental milestones and daily needs
• Lead and mentor assistant teachers, modeling best practices in responsive infant caregiving
• Build consistent, trust-based relationships with families through clear, compassionate daily communication
• Plan and carry out developmentally appropriate activities that support cognitive, motor, language, and social-emotional growth
• Uphold health, safety, and licensing standards throughout the classroom at all times
• Collaborate with school leadership to support the broader Cadence Education mission of creating bright futures for children, families, and communities

What We're Looking For

• Demonstrated experience in infant care, early childhood education, or a related childcare setting
• Familiarity with Montessori philosophy and its application in an infant environment (formal Montessori training or certification is a plus)
• A genuine love of infants and a calm, nurturing presence in a caregiving environment
• Strong observational skills and the ability to translate developmental knowledge into individualized support
• Experience leading or mentoring classroom team members
• Current CPR and First Aid certification, or the ability to obtain it
• A degree or coursework in Early Childhood Education, Child Development, or a closely related field (or equivalent professional experience)
